This is equivalent of writing &quot;TWELVE.&quot; I wonder why the designer didn&#039;t simply write IB, which would be more typical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, post any coins you may have that have the date spelled out, any coins you may have from year 12 (of anything), tetradrachms, whatever you want to share!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]617311[/ATTACH]</p><p>Faustina Jr, AD 161-175</p><p>Billon Tetradrachm; 13.82 g, 23.2 mm</p><p>Alexandria, AD 148/9</p><p>Obv: ΦΑΥCΤΙΝΑ CЄΒΑCΤΗ, pearl-diademed and draped bust, right</p><p>Rev: L Δ<font size="6">ω</font>ΩΔЄΚΑΤΟΥ (regnal year 12 of Antoninus Pius), Dikaiosyne seated left, holding scales and cornucopiae</p><p>Refs: Köln 1944; Dattari 3238; BMC 1317; K&amp;G 38.7.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
