<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3025713, member: 31620&quot;]I haven&#039;t had much to share recently as I am going through a serious dry spell. I have recently obtained this coin which I thought worthy of sharing. It is what I think is a relatively scarcer reverse type of Jupiter even though there seem to be a few on the market. None of them is in particularly good shape and many seems to be on large flans (sometimes overlarge) perhaps explaining the lack of metal available in most cases to allow the design to be fully struck due to a lack of metal. This leads to flat strikes in the centre of most of examples.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Diocletian - Antoninianus</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: IMP DIOCLE-TIANVS AVG, Radiate and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev: IOVI F-VLGERATORI, [to Jupiter the Thunderer] Jupiter, naked except for cloak fluttering over left arm, right foot drawn back in act to throw thunderbolt, which is raised up in right hand; head right, At feet left, eagle standing left, head right</p><p>Minted in Rome (//XXIB).</p><p>Reference:– RIC V 167 Bust Type F</p><p><br /></p><p>3.77 gms. 24.46 mm. 0 degrees </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_141cu_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
