[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3103937, member: 88829"]I'm confused. In the Gorny & Mosch lot description from 2015 (sale 233, lot 2366) they call it a hybrid and a contemporary imitation. ([B]RRR! Hybride Prägung! Zeitgenössische Imitation![/B]). In the Roma auction just completed they note, "Contemporary Imitation (?)" Neither of those descriptions mention the British Museum. May I ask, where did the BM "make it eastern?" This coin does not appear in their collection online, which only displays one denarius from an eastern mint, out of 70 denarii shown. In that case the hair style is in the early fashion for Sabina, like that of Matidia, and Hadrian is on the obverse. Stylistically this obverse and that reverse are not similar. Is there another reference for this coin someplace?[/QUOTE]
