<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2032018, member: 31620&quot;]I don&#039;t get a chance to add coins to one of specialist collections very often. It is focussed on the odd series of obverse legends from Emesa ending AVG II C, AVG II COS, AVG CO etc. This month I have managed to add two coins, one illustrated below and the other in the post, due to arrive any day now....</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius&nbsp; </b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CE L . SEP SE-V PERT AVG . CO, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– FOTVNA-E (sic) R-EDVCI, Fortuna standing left, holding rudder in right hand, cornucopia in left</p><p>Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194</p><p>Reference:– BMCRE -. RIC IV -. RSC -</p><p><br /></p><p>Possibly only fifth example known. Other examples (according to Curtis Clay) - BM ex Bickford-Smith and Curtis Clay coll., Vienna, formerly Barry Murphy coll., Triton VI lot (M. Melcher coll.), Doug Smith, all same die pair</p><p><br /></p><p>A quite nice example though suffering from an uneven strike.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064qm_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Coins like this make my day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
