 A new die combination for Domna (or a correction?)

AE 17, 3.52g
obv. IOVL DOM - [CEBACTH]
       Bust, draped, r.
rev. NIKOPOLIT - PROC ICTRO
       Crescent with 1 small star in the cavity
ref. a) AMNG I/1, 1485 (1 ex., Paris)
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020):
          rev. No. 8.17.48.1
          obv. e.g. No. 8.23.47.3
Savoca Coins, 92th Blue Auction, Lot 1121, 19.12.20

The obv. of No. 8.17.48.1 is not readable. So it could be the same legend. Then it would be a correction.

A correction for Elagabalus HHJ 8.26.36.8 (2019)

AE26, 12.1 g

obv: AVT K M AVR ANTWNEINOC
rev: VP NOBIOV ROVFOV NIKOPOLITWN (PR)C in field ICT R / ON

The reverse of this specimen is the same die as the one shown in HHJ.
The difference is that the legend is fully seen on my specimen and reads ...LITWN (PR)C ...,
ie ligate PR and O missing.

A difficult specimen, the obverse is what it is, but the reverse is nice.

New variety for Macrinus HHJ 8.23.35 (2019)

obv: AVT K M OPEL CEV MACREINOC

rev: VP CTA LONGINOV NIKOPOLITWN PRO -> CIC  same die as HHJ 8.23.35.15 (2019), Nemesis-Aequitas

The obv legend is worn, but viewed from the correct angle you can make out AVT K M OPEL CEV behind the bust.
I didn't manage to take a picture of this, the strong light made my camera blank out.

Dear clueless!

Thank you for your additions.

#073 is Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020) No. 8.26.36.9 corr. (has PROC)

#074 is not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020):
                     rev. No. 8.23.35.15
                     obv. e.g. No. 8.23.7.15 (same die)
            The obv. can be found if you compare the ribbons hanging down from the wreath!

#075 is already listed in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020) under No. 8.17.35.6
Therefore I have deleted this number from the list and renumbered the other one

#076 (now #075) is Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020) No. 8(?).10.48.17 var

Dear clueless!

Thank you for your additions. I wonder where you get all these coins.

On #077 I read NIKOPOLI PROC I. Then it is HrHJ (2020) 8.14.20.14 corr. (same dies, but doesn't mention the ligation of HR!).

Hi Jochen,

I did re-examine #077 and your reading seems to be correct.

I have been lately finally going through years of accumulated coins from Nicopolis, at the moment >100 pcs that I haven't previously photographed, properly attributed and entered into my database and I have still a nice bunch left to process...

Hi clueless!

Your last coin is Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2020) No. 8.25.8.5 (same dies). Dionysos is holding a kantharos in his lowered r. hand.

With your permission, I have edited the images of your coins a little, in particular taking out the blue cast. That way Mr. Jekov can more easily transfer them to the next issue.

Correction for Sept Sev HJ 8.14.1.12 (2019)

AE27, 12.2 g

obv: AV.K.L.C. CEVHROC P
re: VP.AVR.GALLO V NIKOPOLI -> PROC ICTR

The same die as the pictured coin in the catalogue which is struck somewhat off center, thus R in ICTR is missing. Maybe typo in the description ?

In our 2020 edition No.  8.14.1.12 the old pic was changed against a better one and the description now is correct ICTR.
