Hi, I found this coin but I can't match where it comes.
Any help?
Regards from Argentina.

Hi,

I think that the reverse is the serpent coiled round a tripod type (You can just see it on the middle leg of the tripod). I am afraid though that I do not know enough about these coins to be of much more help. Similar types were popular at Marcianopolis so that might be a place to start further searching.  ???

Regards,

Alex.

I am betting between 15-19mm. Kinda looks like a short bearded Septimius Severus.
