Provincials of Gordian/Large and Small
« on: September 05, 2015, 01:59:35 pm »


Just for the heck of it I thought that I might post a couple of coins from extremes of my collection - my largest coin and my smallest coin. Both are coins from the reign of Gordian III. Coin one, my largest is from Mysia Miletopolis and Coin two, my smallest is from Pisidia Cremna.

Coin 1:

AE47; 52.55 g; 12h

Obverse: AVT KAI - M ANT GORDIANOC AVGOV Gordian, laureate, cuirassed and draped, 3/4 facing, cuirassed decorated with Gorgonion; lance in left hand, over left shoulder.
Reverse: CTRA A - VR ER - M - OV MEILHTO - PO//LEITWN Emperor Gordian on rearing horse right spearing lion crouching left.
Ref: vii.1' target='_blank'>RPC VII.1 83/1-5; Sholz I 54; Lindgren III 263

Coin 2:
2005.126.78 Pisidia, Cremna

Nice coins! You could make 27.8 small ones from the larger.
