Title: A little help with an Aurelian IOVI CONSER
Post by: tetrico on February 23, 2021, 03:37:15 am

Hi!
I ask you a little help with this antoninianus of Aurelian with IOVI CONSER reverse.
I'm not able to find in ric.mom.fr database the right number... my doubts are about the bust type that it looks not conventional...
I think the mint is Serdica and the issue is the 3rd... but the the bust type is different than the numbers 2586 and 2587 (http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/search/advanced?tempRIC=&asmSelect0=&asmSelect1=&asmSelect2=&asmSelect3=&asmSelect4=&asmSelect5=&asmSelect6=&Titulature=IMP+AVRELIANVS+AVG&asmSelect7=&Legend=IOVI+CONSER&asmSelect8=&asmSelect9=&ReverseMark=%E2%80%93%2F%E2%80%93%2F%2FP&asmSelect10=&asmSelect11=&BustDescription=&ReverseDescription=&Note=&Reference=&page=1&mod=result&hpp=100)

Many thanks for your reply Mauseus!
are this piece also in ric.mom.fr database?
There is a number of known pieces in the BN catalogue?

Hi,

Very odd but BNC 1004 is not in the RIC database. An oversight I think.
