Galba help, so strange - cannot ID
« on: October 11, 2021, 04:35:08 pm »
First time post, though I have been reading for months!

Every coin I find I can eventually locate a match, even if it takes days of searching...

Going on a few weeks now and cannot find a reference for this coin.

Possibly Galba right facing, reverse figure standing left with shield at feet behind. The letters in front of the reverse figure are strangest. They read MO IA TAM.

11.4 grams

25 mm

THANKS!

Welcome to Forum.

Looks like a provincial of Domitian to me.  Athena holding victory reverse

It's Domitian indeed, RPC II 1744 struck in Mopsus (Cilicia): https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/2/1744

A rare type.
