<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3097157, member: 75937&quot;]I wanted to show off a new Gordy and thought we might enjoy a big pile-on thread. Post your Gordian III provincial issues here! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]782996[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian III, AD 238-244.</p><p>Roman provincial Æ tetrassarion, 9.5 g, 24 mm.</p><p>Thrace, Hadrianopolis, AD 238-244. </p><p>Obv: AVT K M ANT ΓOPΔIANOC AVΓ, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev: AΔPIANOΠOΛEITΩN, Artemis standing left, holding patera and bow; stag at side.</p><p>Refs: BMC 30; Moushmov 2685; Varbanov 3888; Jurukova 476; SNG Cop --; Lindgren --; GIC --.</p><p>Notes: Obverse die match to Varbanov plate coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been able to find only two other examples of this coin online, both of which are obverse die matches:</p><p><br /></p><p>CNG eAuction 323, <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=254181" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=254181" rel="nofollow">lot 213</a>, 3/26/2014:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]782999[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>CBG Monnaies 43, <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=778044" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=778044" rel="nofollow">lot 544</a>, 4/29/2010:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]783000[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>These other two coins are reverse die-matches with each other but not to my coin. My coin has the same break in the reverse inscription as described in the BMC listing:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]783001[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is unfortunately not illustrated on the British Museum&#039;s website. The CNG listing notes their example has an unlisted reverse die; I therefore wonder if my reverse die is the one illustrated as Jurukova 476. If anyone has Jurukova, I&#039;d be grateful if they&#039;d send me a photo of the plate coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see your Gordies from the provinces!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
