<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3437461, member: 19463&quot;]This period saw two issues marked with workshop (officina) numbers.&nbsp; Oddly, each used a different system.&nbsp; The Saeculares (lion and friends) used Roman numerals while the other series used Greek numbers. My page shows both in groups.&nbsp; In each case officina 3 was used by Philip II and 4 by Otacilia.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/philip.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/philip.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/philip.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/phlnumgrp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/phltrgrp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>When I made these images I laid out the eight coins and shot them together but I lacked an extra so one of the obverses shown does not belong to the group with which it rests.&nbsp; Curtis Clay noticed and called me on the &#039;error&#039;.&nbsp; He knew the dies of the series well enough that he was bothered by my shot.&nbsp; Can you spot it?&nbsp; I did not include an obverse for Philip II in either image but never corrected that over the years. I did include the Tranquillitas reverse die with reversed B in field.&nbsp; Who has one of these?&nbsp; These are not complete sets.&nbsp; There are some scarce variations with animals facing the opposite direction.&nbsp; Who has one of these?&nbsp; Not I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
