A completely new type for Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, AD 161-180
AE 20, 4.57g, 19.54mm, 180°
struck under governor M. Antonius Zeno
obv. AVRH OVH - ROC KAIC
       Bust, draped, bare-headed, r.
rev. HGE ZHNWNOC - NEIKOPOLEIT
       Artemis Huntress, in short double chiton, stg. r., holding bow in extended l. hand and
       drawing with r. hand arrow from quiver over r. shoulder
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018):
          rev. No. 8.6.13.1 (same die, for Antoninus Pius)
          obv. e.g. No. 8.7.9.1 (same die)
Extremely rare, probably unpublished, F+, dark green patina
coll. Hoeft

Now we know of 12 types for Marcus Aurelius, all as Caesar. 7 of them have been struck with rev. dies of Antoninus Pius.

KAI CERBIL is the shortest form for Caecilius Servilianus so far!

A new die combination (or a correction?) for Severus

Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 19, 2.76g
obv. AV KAI CE - CEVHROC
       Laureate head r.
rev. NIKOPOLIT PROC ICTRON
       Basket with fruits (apples?)
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1428 var. (has PROC ICTR)
      b) Varbanov 2403 var. (= AMNG 1428)
      c) not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018);

          obv. e.g. No. 8.14.52.4
savoca-coins, Ebay, January 2020

It is quite possible that the obv. is also No. 8.14.52.7. The legend of the coin shown is not legible. Then it would be a correction.

Dear Friends of Nikopolis ad Istrum!

At the end of the year I would like to take stock. Nikopolis Addenda #7 has achieved the following result:

(1) published coins 133
(2) new types (new picture) 27
      (including completely new ones 11)
(3) Legend variants 25
(4) new die combinations 43
(5) Corrections 50
---------------------------------------------------
total 145

These results will be published in the next edition of Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov, The coinage of Nicopolis ad Istrum. But I am convinced that more unknown types will appear in the next year.

Best regards

A new 'barbaric' imitation for Caracalla

Caracalla, AD 198-217
AE 16, 2.10g, 16.08mm, 315°
obv. AV K CE - [.....]
       Laureate head r.
rev. [.....] - PROC ICT
      Kybele, in long garment, wearing mural crown (?), std. l. on lion, resting with l. arm on
      tympanon and holding in extended r. hand patera(?)
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018)
      Unpublished
coll.Hoeft

A very unusual coin. The depiction of Kybele (mural crown, extended r. hand), of the lion (shape, head) and the size ratio of Kybele to the lion speak strongly for an unofficial imitation.
