New Mint for Constantius Gallus Phoenix on Globe
« on: October 02, 2022, 10:12:01 pm »
All though I did not win this auction I would like to point this coin out. Savoca Blue 144 #1154 is a Gallus/Phoenix on Globe coin with a Heraclea mint mark. As far as I know the phoenix type with Gallus is only known of from the mints of Sirmium, Constantinople and Antioch. Photo is from the action listing.

Very interesting! Any guesses as to why such a small number was [presumably] minted?
