Curious AE2 of Magnentius
« on: November 04, 2017, 01:42:43 pm »
Hey,

I have problems identifying this Magnentius. It's far from good condition, but I have other problem. It's quite clear mintmark is PTR. I watched it closely from different angles and there's no way it could be TRP or TRS - and those are to be the only Trier mintmarks used for his coins.

I also couldn't find an example with letter F in lower centre.

I'm no expert, but it doesn't look like a barbarous imitation for me. Style, lettering and weight, all look ok. Any ideas how to proceed?

Possibly RIC VIII Arles 173.
