[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2116575, member: 56859"]There isn't one complete resource for Provincial coins. However, I don't think your will prove to be unpublished. Just because the handful of people here who have tried can't quickly identify it doesn't mean it is unknown :). I believe this one will be readily identified by someone since there are many readable parts of the legends. I spent some time trying and didn't come up with an ID. I'm far from expert though. :D If you tire of looking, put the coin aside and try again in a few weeks or months. You could also post it on Forvm's Identification Help board. For what it's worth, here's what I think I see and read (letters may be missing or incorrect): Obverse (Starting at the bottom/back of the neck) AYKTR......OC, plus IZ_ or _ZI below the neck, depending on whether that portion is written clockwise or counterclockwise. Laureate head/bust right. Dotted border. Reverse A P(?) _ _ ....P(?) Δ(or Λ or A) E ω N; Apollo or Diana/Artemis bust right, bow tucked under left arm. Dotted border. ... I suspect the complete obverse legend might read AY K TRAIANOC, making it a Trajan issue.[/QUOTE]
