Hi!
These two small coins I got yesterday from a junk box. I think both are
rare.
(1)
Moesia inferior,
Nikopolis ad Istrum,
Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 17, 2.82g
obv. AV KL -
CEVHROC Bust, laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPOLITWN PROC I
Laurel-wreath,
circle between upper ends, within six-pointed
star with dots at the tips.
ref. not in
AMNG;
Varbanov (engl.) 2485 (PC, unpublished)
rare, F+/about VF, dark-green glossy
patina(2)
Moesia inferior,
Nikopolis ad Istrum,
Septimius Severus, AD 193-211
AE 19, 2.56g
obv. AV KAI CE -
CEVHROC Bust, draped and
cuirassed(?), laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPOLIT. -
PROC ICTRO
Apollo, nude, except
chlamys over l. shoulder, stg. l., holding bow in l.
arm and
patera in extended r. hand
ref. not in
AMNG; not in
Varbanov (engl.)
Both references list no small coin with
Apollo holding bow and
patera. So this coin possibly is unpublished. BTW I have
another coin of this
type in my
collection in a worse state.
very
rare, F+/about VF, dark-green
patina with earthen incrustations
Anyone who know this coin or can give me a reference?
Best regards
