Imitation of Nicaean standards of Severus Alexander
« on: December 23, 2014, 02:48:09 pm »

This interesting coin is in my opinion an imitation of
Nicaean standards type of Severus Alexander (eg. Sear GIC 3287).

19.4 - 21.0 mm, 3.80g.

Obverse:  :Greek_Mu: :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Iota:  :Greek_Upsilon_2: :Greek_Lambda: :Greek_Eta: ...
Laureate, draped bust right.
Reverse:  :Greek_Nu:  :Greek_Iota:  :Greek_Lambda:  :Greek_epsilon: /  :Greek_Omega: :Greek_Nu:
Three standards.

I agree.  +++
And the edge looks like surrounded by a casting seam.

Clear seam, and spruce visible in hand too.
