Provincial coin of Gordianus III, Neocesarea
« on: January 30, 2015, 10:24:12 am »
Last coin of the day, I promise! :D

I have attribuited a mint for this coin...but I can't find other example like mine.
On the reverse...instead of the typical crown/urn there is a sort of decorated whreat. A palm, under the table.
Can you help me?

Thank you very much guys!!
