Help with Geta from Thrace, Serdica
« on: June 26, 2016, 02:36:47 pm »
Hello, looking to identify this coin I believe is Geta.  This is what I think I see.

Obv.  A CEP(T) GETAC KAI
Rev.  OVLPIAC CE(P or R)DIKHC

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gus

 I look for the Varbanov

Sorry. I don't think so.

The obv. legend of your coin is L CEPT(I) - GETAC KAI, whereas Varbanov 2511 has L C KAIC GETAC!

Your coin is not listed in Ruzicka, nor in Hristova/Jekov, nor in Varbanov. Even the obv. legend is not listed!

Best regards

Just getting back to this, and you're right Jochen, 2511 does not match.

So my coin is unlisted! That is pretty cool.  No wonder I have had so much trouble finding it. 

Thanks for the help,
Gus
