Uncertain AE20 with prow
« on: August 12, 2021, 09:56:30 pm »
I'm not having any luck with this. It could be Coela but front and neck of prow seems to be different.
Thank you,
Charlie

Dear Charlie and Board,

Yes, this is definitely a Coela issue, of probably Antoninus Pius.  This city's coins contain so many different types and varieties that it is little wonder why you didn't find an exact match for your piece.  The catalogs of RPC Online and Corpus Nummorum are still incomplete.  I have several unpublished types in my own collection that I haven't gotten around to publishing yet.  It would be nice if numismatists start cataloging the prow types/varieties based on the ornamentation on the prow in addition to other details.   

Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Mark Fox

Thank you Mark! There are many prow types from Coela and I was not familiar with this one.
