Salonina/city view
« on: April 18, 2019, 12:48:21 pm »
Quite happy to get this.  Apparently not common.  I only found one other in ACSearch.

BITHYNIA, Nicaea. Salonina. Augusta, AD 254-268. Æ (25mm, 7.03 g, 7h). KOPNH CA-ΛΩNEI[NA], diademed and draped bust right / NIKAIEΩN in exergue, walled enclosure with gateway. Unpublished in the standard references. VF, green and brown patina. Evidently a rare type for Salonina.

Maybe "NH" on obverse is unreadable due the hole?

I wrote an article about these coins for the Celator a few years ago:
