[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24857280, member: 26430"]It does look like a relatively scarce type. RPC has a couple possible types, depending on whether it's a laureate draped & cuirassed bust or just laureate head. There are only a couple rough examples illustrated of the former (laureate [I]bust[/I]): [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/7177[/URL] Yours is centered such that I can't tell if there's any drapery, so it could be the laureate head? [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/7180[/URL] I would catalog it as "RPC IV.3 7177 or 7180" until I found more examples illustrated or someone persuaded me of one over the other[/QUOTE]
