Hi!
I would like to add a new
denarius with the same
obverse to this
thread. Please pay attention to the fact that both coins are from the same ob. die! The new one is in a much better condition, so it confirms what
Curtis earlier suggested for a hardly legible
obverse legend of
VO DE denarius...as you can see from the new
Annona denarius, the ob.
legend is indeed M
COMM ANT -
AVG P BRIT FEL.
So, this new
denarius with
Annona on
reverse seems to be a new unrecorded variety with draped
bust seen from back. I checked BM,
numismatics.org,
Reka Devnia, etc and have not seen any analogue.
RIC 106 (
bust variant)
ob. M
COMM ANT -
AVG P BRIT draped
bust r., seen from back
rev. P M TR P X
IMP VII COS IIII PP / ANN,
Annona standing left, holding small statuette and
cornucopia;
modius at feet to left, prow at feet to right.

Thank you for your time,
