germanicus:
hi all

 my bust type is different, not sure if thats relevant to the RIC, i know bust type variations are confusing for probvs

if anybody has any specific RIC comments about the officina/bust type  and could provide them , i would be happy to add further details for my coin



IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG /  PROVIDEN DEOR / RIC 845 (?)

KHr (* middle field)

thanks :)

 

jbaran:
RIC 845 is correct, it covers radiate draped, radiate cuirassed, and radiate draped and cuirassed...in this case it looks like the obverse legend is the key.

germanicus:
thats a relief joe ,

any hint of a date for this officina coin

the example here http://www.probvs.info/ for ric 845 serdika is quoted as being 276 ad

i am sure its correct and will take it as that (unless told otherwise)

many thanks

cscoppa:
A very big key is that PROVIDEN DEOR without the T is only attributed to Serdica. If you go the site http://www.probvs.info/ and look at the Bust type pictures you should see yours is like type F. And F is one of the three Bust types listed for this attributation. The others are A & C. The BIGGEST key is the PROVIDEN that is Tless.

germanicus:
thanks for doing that chip

interesting to see

where it lists obv , is the "2" a code for my specific legend , as that is not listed there

i cant see the dots in my exergue ? ( KA . r . ) as the ric says ?

thanks

ps i thought RIC listed dates of mintage for coins/types etc ?  

how would i know what year my coin was minted if its listed in ric
