NEW COIN FROM ANEMOURION (CILICIA)

[Fernando]

Hello,

I just got this coin for my collection. It is an AE coined by Valerian I in the mint of Anemurion (Cilicia). I have reviewed the coins that appear on internet and I have found certain differences.

The description of the coin would be:

OBVERSE: Radiated bust from Valeriano to right, AVT K OVAΛЄPIANOC ?

* The obverse recalls this coin: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=234804

REVERSE: ΑΝΕΜΟP-ΕWΝ, nude Apollo standing left, holding laurel branch, lyre on TABLE to left.

* The reverse has two essential differences. First, the lyre rests on a three-legged table reminiscent of emissions with a table that holds an Agonistic crown. In Anemurion's emissions the lyre is supported by a small column.
The second difference is that the small column appears in front of Apollo.


The technical data are:

Weight: 5.17 gr
Diameter: 19.70 mm

I could not find any example with this reverse design. It can be a non-referenced coin.

Best regards from Spain,

Fernando Arnau.
