[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3265686, member: 31620"]This one arrived today. These are quite scarce and even though I already have an example from the same die pair I couldn't resist this one when it came up at a european auction house last week. The auction house somehow failed to identify it as Alexandrian and perhaps this is why there were no other bids. [B] Septimius Severus denarius[/B] [B] [/B] Obv:– IMP CAE L S-EP SEV PERT AVG, Laureate head right Rev:– LEG III IT AVG, TR P COS in exergue, Legionary eagle between two standards Minted in Alexandria. A.D. 194 Reference:-- Cohen -. RIC -. BMCRE -. [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064tw_img.jpg[/IMG] Here is my previous example:- [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064oo_img.jpg[/IMG] I have a few other obverse die links with this probably being the nicest. Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG, Laureate head right Rev:– FIDEI LEG TR P COS II, Fides standing left holding Victory and standard Minted in Alexandria.
