Greetings.  I believe this is a Quintillus tetradrachm.  What do you think?

8.53g    &   19mm

Thanks,

Nathan L:

Missing half the inscription and bust type not clear from picture (should be a front view of cloak+cuirass), however the other details fit Quintillus: inscription break ...N   (TILL..). , date and reverse type.

The inscription on Quintillus coins is often very weak.

And it has the tight curly hair of Quintillus.

I'll upload a better obverse picture tonight.

You might have trouble reading the letters if you make no assumptions but if you start with the comparing the legend as expected on a Quintillus, there is little room for doubt,  Over the head is KVIN.  That is enough.  The portrait is very much as I would expect.  The year date is for a one year ruler.  I'd call that one nice coin.
