<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 3237512, member: 41219&quot;]So this was one of the coins that are part of the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/exercises-in-identification.326538/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/exercises-in-identification.326538/">Exercises in Identification</a> coins but I thought it was cool enough to make it&#039;s own thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>Severina AE Antoninianus</p><p>Serdica mint</p><p>SEVERINA AVG, diademed, draped bust right on crescent </p><p>CONCORDIA AVGG, Aurelian and Severina clasping hands, star in lower centre, mintmark KA dot Γ dot.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]846736[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>On wildwinds it says it is silvered. I&#039;m thinking that maybe on the obverse some of the remnants can be seen?</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, this is a beautiful coin. I think it is especially cool since in our searching, my son and I couldn&#039;t find much information on Severina...unless you count the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severina_(singer)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severina_(singer)" rel="nofollow">Croatian pop singer</a> (the only bona fide Croatian celebrity)... As far as we can tell, and according to wikipedia, almost everything known about her (Severina the Empress)&nbsp; is from her coins and inscriptions. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any more insight on Severina or coins of hers, please share. We&#039;d love to see them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
