Help! Tough one.
« on: June 08, 2013, 06:00:29 am »
Hello.

This coin is puzzling me for some years.
It's not in good condition, but some details are still visible.
And I'm not sure if I put the coin on photos with right axis, they probably should be rotated.

Weight is 4.5g, diameter - 16x19 mm.

Will be very thankfull for any suggestion what it is.

I personally think this coin needs some more cleaning.. Soak it in DW until all the dirt comes loose.... Then it will be easier to pin down and a more attractive coin!

It looks like the ubiquitous three standard reverse from Nicaea, Bithynia which Gordian and Severus Alexander issued in large numbers. Something along these lines.
