[QUOTE="SRSNUM, post: 25672149, member: 102988"]The subject coin imaged below, has eluded my efforts to attribute it. I thought more experienced eyes might help. It appears to be an example of a Roman Provincial Coin (Possibly Egypt). The obverse exhibits a bust of the emperor (bearded?) which appears to be laureate & cuirassed. There appears to be a *(star device of 8 [points) in the field, below and right of the chin. The inscription has defeated my efforts to decipher it. The best I am able to make out is ---ANOC CEB, the CEB from comparison with other similar ANOC legends. The reverse exhibits a bird (eagle?, hawk?) standing right. The field exhibits L__B. This usually indicates the coin was struck during the second year of the reign of the emperor. All thoughts welcome. [ATTACH=full]1641816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1641817[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
