Gordian III. antoninian - One or two cornucopiae?
« on: December 05, 2021, 11:20:10 am »
Hi,

The question is simple: is there one or two cornucopiae on reverse? The answer may be important.

I think your coin has only one cornucopiae.
Have a look at my Gordian III antoninianus RIC 35 to see a double cornucopiae.

If it were two, I would expect the dividing line to be incuse.  In my opinion, it's a single cornucopiae.
