[QUOTE="Co1ns, post: 4717352, member: 87765"]I have a radiate phoenix on globe reverse type on a rather small 16mm flan, no mint mark in sight besides the star to right. There's also some obverse legend missing, but I am pretty sure it's Constans rather than Constantius based on letter spacing. [ATTACH=full]1156491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1156492[/ATTACH] With the mint mark below the globe completely off flan and hardly certain on the ruler, I began looking for a die match to try and pin down a definitive ID. This coin from Antioch sold by Roma in 2017 was by far the closest I could find: [ATTACH=full]1156503[/ATTACH] [I][URL='https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Phoenix+right+globe+star&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&thesaurus=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company=']Roma Numismatics / acsearch[/URL] [/I] Though it's clearly not a die match, the style is very similar, especially considering how far off the other phoenixes I viewed were. As such, I am pretty certain my coin is also an example of RIC VIII Antioch 131. Does anyone have a closer match either supporting or refuting my attribution? Flaunt your Phoenixes :)[/QUOTE]
