That's what I think, too.

Thank you friends for kind words.

Misidentified tetradrachm finally solved.

I got this tetradrachm identified as Tranquillina in 1987, but could not find reference
until RPC VII.2 was recently finished. There is no Elpis type for RY 5  of Tranquillina.
So I tried to find any other empress with this reverse, and finally landed to Zenobia.
Obverse legend reads: C?ΠΤΙΜΙΑ...

References are Sear III-11734, Dattari-5511, BMCG-2399, Köln-3065.

A superb find, Pekka!  Your thirty years' patience and diligence is well rewarded.  The "second Cleopatra" is a truly cool coin and on the Forum scale of valuation worth a LOT of hamburger dinner outings.

Pekka,

A most excellent find, and so nice to solve the mystery so many decades later. Zenobia was in your collection this entire time.  ;D

My remaining tetradrachm of Tranquillina (RPC VII.2-3864) is from same auction.
So I need no replacement for misidentified coin.
