Hello all,
I recently purchased this coin from a
pick bin and its
attribution is eluding me.
Obv: TPAI - Laureate
head right
Rev:
Dionysos standing left, holding thrysos and bunch of grapes,
panther at
his feet.
The
obverse legend leads me to believe it's
Trajan, but the
portrait does not look like him IMO.
I am uncertain of the
reverse description. There appears to be a theta in the left
field and there may be an A or Lamda in the upper left
field. The
reverse is off center, but I see no other evidence of
legend remaining.
3.69 g, 19 mm. The coin is a much lighter green than in the photo, it is very beautiful in hand.
Any
help is appreciated.
Tom
