Thanks for this one Erik, I didn't have it in my list.
But from the curved lines on Hadrian's back on the obverse, I would say it is laureate and draped (and perhaps cuirassed as well, similar to Imhoof 160 in RSN 1913; Winterthur 3886) instead of laureate and cuirassed. The obverse of the plate coin (Roma seated) of Hadrian in RPC (2543) appears to be from the same obverse die but appears to have a __ cutout on Hadrian's back but yours has curved lines.
Imhoof describes his coin as laureate, draped and cuirassed.
Also, your coin should be described as Tyche standing right... and... the emperor standing left, not the other way round. Descriptions are from the viewer's standpoint - (ah, you probably mean Tyche on the left and the emperor on the right...)

Where did you get the RPC 3, 2543A reference from ? Is there already a supplement to RIC III ?

I will add it to the list.

Hi again, Dane, and thanks for this fine work in progress.  Since you've posted to Isegrim Extended I imagine you've already picked up these Lydian issues, but if not, they are probably worth a look (a lot more worth a look if you still have access to old Coin Archives listings, which I don't):

Dane,
Just in case you haven't seen them yet, there is an upcoming auction
with a very large number of Lydian coins therein. Their auction (52.II)
ends early April, run by a dealer formerly from Munich, but now based
in Vienna (I am sure you can work out who). All the best,

hi
take a look about this Pseudo autonomous coin of Sardis.
Checking on internet i managed to discover many specimens like mine but the obverse legend position is completely different, its starting from the right part and not the left like the others i saw.
i have no acces to BMC or any other specilezed numismatics literature, i hope this coin can help your study.
Regards Filippo

6-   SARDES - PSEUDO AUTONOMOUS COINAGE, time of Caracalla 212/217 A.D.
AE 15 mm. Ø - 1,8 g. Ref: BMC Lydia 86 - Johnston 262

Sorry, I am 2 months late in replying about this Zeus/Herakles coin.
It is
BMC 85-86; Lindgren I A809A; Mionnet IV, 678; Paris 1167; SNG Munich 499

You will notice that the Z of ZEYC is reversed on the obverse - this is quite normal for these.

Also, because of the huge number of legend breaks, the configuration and start/end points, direction etc. of the 6500 or so Lydian bronzes which I have listed so far in preparation for the new catalog, I will not be differentiating between such differences, otherwise the book would be at least twice as long.

@ quadrans
Julia Domna, Hermocapelia, as the Unpublished and you reference in 2017 Auction..

Yes, I have it listed in my Lydian list as Plankenhorn (Naumann) 1020 from Numis. Naumann's auction 52 in April 2017 - it is now in the John Aiello collection.

@okidoki
Ah, you bought it - (Kölner Münzkabinett auction 4, lot 188, Dec. 2017) ! I saw that they had a whole bunch of rare Lydians. Uncle John is at the ready for the unsold Lydian lots !

Eric: I am missing images of the following Sabina coins of Tralles in case you have any of them:
1) Rev: EPI APELLOY GR TRALLIANWN, eagle standing on sceptre, wings spread. Mionnet IV, 1070; RPC III 2088 (<- I can probably scan the RPC pic)
2) Rev: TRALLIANWN, Female standing left, holding sceptre and the horns of a sacrificial bull standing right before her. Mionnet Supp. VII, 713.
3) Rev: TRALLIANWN, Isis standing facing, wearing lotus headdress, holding sceptre and the infant Horus. Mionnet Supp. VII, 714.

and this Hadrian Tralles coin:
Rev: CYNKLHTOC, bare head of the Senate right. Mionnet IV, 1068.

@Akropolis (Pete).
Your first one is not Zeus, it is Athena, you can see the back part of her Corinthian helmet.
IOY MAMAIA on the obv / AKRACIWTWN, Athena standing left, holding patera and spear.
SNG von Aulock 8214; Waddington 4858; Paris 33; Vienna GR19353 (my book no. 100).

Your second one must be from Magnesia ad Maeandrum, Ionia, because Magnesia ad Sipylum, Lydia, never had Neocorus status and, in addition, most coins have CIPYLOY, CIP, C, CI, CIPY or similar to indicate which Magnesia was meant.
I can't make out the word NEOKORWN on the coin. The letters in the exergue appear to be AGORA...
In addition there seem to be too many A's down the right hand side, and something at his feet at bottom left, plus he is wearing a polos.
So I would say it is definitely Magnesia, Ionia, with Hades-Serapis seated left with Kerberos at his feet and the rev legend
MAGNHTWN EPI GR ANAXAGORA, which is Schultz 302; SNG Fitz. 4521 and 4525.

I am not sure if this counts as unpublished.  The inscription is curved in a way that is different from the examples on Wildwinds and in the references I have been able to check myself.  I purchased this coin as unidentified from Brian Kritt because he is very good at identifying and thus this might be rare.

Lydia, Tralles, 250-1 BC, AE15, 2.93g
Obv: Zeus head right
Rev: [ΔΙ]ΟΣ ΛΑΡΑΣΙΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΟΣ Ε[ΥΜΕΝΟΥ]; Zebu Bull left

The inscription means "Zeus Larasios and Zeus Eumenes". "Zeus at Tralles was called Larasios from a sanctuary at the neighbouring village of Larasa. Zeus ‘Eumenes’ or ‘The Kindly’ may have had a separate sanctuary." (Barclay Head)
A similar reverse was auctioned by Kuenker eLive Auction 40, May 2016, lot 7270 attributed to "BMC -, vergl. 63 ff.; Imhoof-Blumer, Lydische Stadtmünzen vergl. 4; SNG v. Aulock -; SNG München vergl. 967 ff." but the obverse is different in stylehttps://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3095771

Hi Filippo
I already have a slightly clearer one from the Pecunem Gitbud & Naumann auction 34, lot 655 (August 2015). It is an unlisted type and will be in the book using the Pecunem number as a reference, but if you send me your collection number I will add your number as well.
