Geta / Serdica / Serpent
« on: April 22, 2016, 05:39:15 pm »
Hello!  :)

Here is a coin from Serdica in Thrace. I think it's Geta on obverse.

Obverse : Bare-headed right / :Greek_Lambda: :GreeK_Sigma::Greek_epsilon::Greek_Pi::Greek_Tau::Greek_Iota:
Reverse : Coiled serpent /  :Greek_Omicron::Greek_Upsilon: [...] :GreeK_Sigma::Greek_epsilon::Greek_Rho::Greek_Delta::Greek_Iota::Greek_Kappa::Greek_Eta::GreeK_Sigma:

Diameter : 19 mm ; Weight : 3.6 g

I don't find a reference with this small size. Not in Ruzicka. But I don't have Varbanov and Hristova and Jekov.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Your coin is listed in Hristrova and Jekov.  12.22.22.2.  It is in Varbanov as well, but listed under the wrong obverse legend, but he cites the Hr & J coin.  They rate it as R6.

Kurt

Edit: that should read the wrong reverse legend.
