<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3083811, member: 88829"]It's rather subtle, but where have you seen that obverse before? Three mints each had a single issue in which this was done, all of them in the year of her death (326); Rome, Ticinum, and Thessalonika. The first two you rarely see, with but a single officina at Ticinum (an R5 appearance in the reference group) and two at Rome (R3 and R4). But the issue from Thessalonika, from three officinae, comes by often enough if you know what to look for. This one is officina gamma (#3), the others are A and B. I know of one other, unlisted, but that's for later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you figured it out yet?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
