Jochen, regarding this coin. I just now have time to go through your listed coins - concentrating on Gordians, of course. This coins is AMNG 1136. This coin is in my collection - I won the auction - and if one examines this coin reverse and compares with that of AMNG - especially since they have a plate image - it is an identical reverse die. The N has been removed from the coin or possibly from the die or the die was damaged.

Thanks for your addition. Yes, sometimes it is only possible to describe a coin correctly if you have it in hand.
