Geta, Serdica, AE29 with Glycon reverse.
« on: December 17, 2020, 08:32:26 am »
Geta, Serdica, AE (29mm, 15.65 g).
Extremely rare.
The Berliner Munzkabinett specimen (same dies) is much worse preserved, so Ruzicka describes reverse as coiled serpent with multiple coils, with radiate head right.
But this specimen shows clearly that the reverse type is lion-headed, laureate (not nimbate or radiate) Glycon.
