<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3526537, member: 32619&quot;]Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you my recent purchase from our own Ken Dorney, a provincial...or is it more correct to say pseudo-autonomous coin (?) from the time of Gallienus:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-192-termessos-major-tyche.11339/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Pisidia, Termessos Major, Time of Gallienus, 253 - 268 AD</p><p>AE 9 Assaria, 29mm, 14.17 grams</p><p>Obv.: TEΡMHCCEΩN AVTONOMΩN Θ; aureate head of Zeus right.</p><p>Rev.: TΩN MEIZONΩN / Θ in left field; Tyche standing left wearing kalathos and holding rudder and cornucopia.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin immediately caught my eye with Zeus muscular build and and apparent high relief in the portrait and legend. Taken from Ken&#039;s listing &quot;Unpublished and very rare. Two examples previously sold, Divo Hess AG Auction 317, Lot 386 and Numismatik Lanz Auction 144, Lot 259.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>From acsearch:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]937205[/ATTACH] </p><p>Divo Hess AG Auction 317, Lot 386 (not a paying member, so no hammer price) <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=875062" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=875062" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=875062</a></p><p><br /></p><p>From Lanz:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]937208[/ATTACH] </p><p>Numismatik Lanz Auction 144, Lot 259 Hammer $292</p><p><a href="http://www.lanzauctions.com/coin.php?b=0rSOVD2YabiRaaHbbP0w9n%2FVsLWFIw3mCmCZbR2enLo%3D&amp;a=T%2FdGscNZ%2B9YpErOlwfibgqnWeuN3Kuh%2FfN3wKgKULyY%3D%23n66" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lanzauctions.com/coin.php?b=0rSOVD2YabiRaaHbbP0w9n%2FVsLWFIw3mCmCZbR2enLo%3D&amp;a=T%2FdGscNZ%2B9YpErOlwfibgqnWeuN3Kuh%2FfN3wKgKULyY%3D%23n66" rel="nofollow">http://www.lanzauctions.com/coin.php?b=0rSOVD2YabiRaaHbbP0w9n/VsLWFIw3mCmCZbR2enLo=&amp;a=T/dGscNZ+9YpErOlwfibgqnWeuN3Kuh/fN3wKgKULyY=#n66</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do not own any references but looking at Wildwinds there is a similar coin, however the obverse legend is different. Here is the coin from Wildwinds:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/pisidia/termessos_major/SNGFr_2190.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/pisidia/termessos_major/SNGFr_2190.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/pisidia/termessos_major/SNGFr_2190.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/pisidia/termessos_major/SNGFr_2190.jpg</a></p><p>Termessos Major, Pisidia, AE31. AD 238-268. TEΡMHCCEΩN Θ, laureate head of Zeus right / TΩN MEIZONΩN, Tyche standing left, wearing kalathos, holding rudder and cornucopiae, Θ in left field. SNG France 2190-2191; Paris 885.</p><p><br /></p><p>After purchasing the coin, I was poking around and was quite taken in by other from the same time and I&#039;m hoping to further expand my collection into this area. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, my new coin also reminded me of this coin already in my collection:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-182-bagis-apollo.7817/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>LYDIA, Bagis. Pseudo-autonomous issue. </p><p>Æ28, 9.1g, 6h; AD 200-268.</p><p>Obv.: CVNK–ΛHTOC; Youthful male bust of the Senate right.</p><p>Rev.: KAICAPЄΩN BAΓHNΩN; Apollo standing right, holding lyre. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to share your coins from the time of Gallienus or any other pseudo-autonomous coinage![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
