Elagabalus
Ephesus, Ionia
Obv: Α-ΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡ ΑΝ-ΤΩΝƐΙΝΟС (legend begins lower right), laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind.
Rev: Ɛ[ΦƐС]ΙΩΝ ·Δ· ΝƐ-ΩΚΟΡΩ →Ν, Emperor standing facing in toga, looking right, holding patera, and Helios standing facing, looking left, holding globe and crowning Emperor with wreath.
30 mm, 11.80 gms
RPC VI Online---; Karwiese--; for reverse type, Karwiese 709 (Anna Aurelia Faustina, Elagabalus's third wife)
From Ares Numismatics Web Auction 4, lot 1170. Interesting coin, I can find it in none of the standard references including Karwiese. However this same reverse, possibly even a die match to this coin, is seen on Karwiese 709 for a coin of Anna Faustina.
