Unlisted Claudius II Gothicus?
« on: August 18, 2014, 08:04:38 pm »
Hi!

Claudius II Gothicus. AD 268-270. AE Antoninianus. [IMP CLAVDIV]S AVG, Radiate bust right / [AEQVITA]S AVG, Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopia

I cannot make out the mintmark, but I think I can see a X, maybe.

So far, I can find no reference to the strange serpent-like S in the right field.

Found in Serbia.

Thanks for any help!

That is the officina, it is called a digamma and means 6.

Your coin is from Rome and is RIC 14
