« on: May 04, 2013, 09:15:21 am »
Hello,

these days arried this die. It´s a scarcer Antoninian of Aurelianus, struck early – summer 275 in period I.

Av.: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG, Bust right, radiate, cuirassed

Rv.: MARS INVICTVS, Mars in military dress stg. r., holding spear in l. hand, receiving globe from Sol stg. l., holding whip in l. hand.
       Reverse mark B//XXI

       Mint Cyzicus, Issue 10, Officina 2, in places still silver plating recognizable,large flan, 3,70g. , diameter 23-25 mm, IMHO fine.
      
       RIC I    357, Estiot knows 7  specimens of this coin type.


Best regards

Aulus

P.S.: If I have a look to my three coins actually it will time to open my own gallery ;D

 A very nice and well centered coin.
