New Elagabalus

Nothing quite so snazzy as my usual offerings, but felt like posting it up since it arrived and I didn't even know I was getting it. Still haven't figured out how to pay for it, but that's a post for another topic.  :)



Elagabalus, AE30, Bithynia, Klaudiopolis. R: Nemesis standing left.  Don't have a reference yet, but working on it.

Here's the german for those who are interested.. :)

Heather,
     Nice solid coin, rare mint, Nemesis rev. type not in Recueil gen. for Elagabalus, nor in SNG Aulock, Leypold, or Righetti.
     Mint name is properly Bithynia, Bithynium-Claudiopolis / Bithynion-Klaudiopolis.
     You won't believe the type I found at this mint while looking up your coin!  Consult your Orpheus (?) thread!
Regards,
Curtis

Nemesis reverse not listed in Waddington RG; not in Lindgren & Kovacs or in Lindgen III.  So there's two you don't have to check.
