<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2507626, member: 74968&quot;]It has been both a little frustrating but also quite a bit of fun to try to find a reliable source which would allow me to accurately distinguish ric 190 191 and 193 from each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this site below which is the only one I have found which has examples of all 3 coins.</p><p>Scroll down to ric 190.</p><p><a href="http://davy.potdevin.free.fr/Site/galba.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://davy.potdevin.free.fr/Site/galba.html" rel="nofollow">http://davy.potdevin.free.fr/Site/galba.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In brief:</p><p>ric 190-Globe at point of bust on the obverse, HISPA-NIA clockwise legend on the reverse</p><p><br /></p><p>ric 191-No globe at point of bust on the obverse, HISPA-NIA clockwise legend on the reverse</p><p><br /></p><p>ric 193-No globe at point of bust on the obverse, HISPA-NIA counter-clockwise legend on the reverse</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this assumes that the above site is reliable.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is reliable I think I can make the following points accurately</p><p><br /></p><p>1.

It appears that the Wildwinds site may be in error. (Again this assumes that the first site I posted with all 3 coins is accurate). Under their listing for ric 191 they have a photo of my coin (which I now assume is ric 193). Ric 191, according to the first site I posted, has a clockwise and not a counter-clockwise reverse legend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to any who have been following this and thanks to those who have helped along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins sure can be interesting!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else have a similar story about tracking down an attribution?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
