Gordian III/Laurent Bricault Collection

[gordian_guy]

These two beauties came from from a recent auction, the sale of Laurent Bricault collection of coins representing Isis and Serapis and other Egyptian Dieties. The first coin from Kallatis is the 2nd known example, a die match to SNG Hungary 10, and the second coin from Marcianopolis appears to be unique, (so far). His catalog is Syllogue Nummorum Religionis Isiacae et Sarapiacae (SNRIS), which I do not have, but the auction catalog serves as a stand in.
