<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 24655022, member: 31620&quot;]I have too many examples of the Papius types. I don&#039;t want to kill the thread with them. The main reason for believing there to be at least 246 die pairs is that one die pair has CCXLVI on each side.</p><p><br /></p><p>James Bonanno illustrates or cites 232 die pairs, building on Crawford&#039;s 211. This indicates that 21 die pairs have emerged in recent years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are 2 from my collection that were unknown to Crawford.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin tied under chin. Behind head, Shoe.</p><p>Rev:– Gryphon running right; in ex., L. PAPI.; in field, Sandal</p><p>Minted in Rome from . B.C. 79.</p><p>Reference(s) – RSC Papia 1. RRC 384/1. RCTV 311.</p><p>Symbol variety – RRC -. Babelon -. BMCRR -.</p><p>3.78g. 19.71 mm. 180 degrees.</p><p><br /></p><p>An unpublished symbol pair with five examples currently known. This is likely the best of the five examples.
