Please I need to identify this coin
« on: December 11, 2007, 03:15:08 pm »
  ???I need to identify this coin for a class assigment. I need to identify who is featured in this coin. I have been looking around  maybe around 3,000 coins already and I can not find the exact match. Please if you can help me and a link to a website. I think it was printed in Constantinopla ? I thank you very much

You should be able to find out the empress, the name is right on the coin.

Hint: The name is the middle part of the legend.

Give a man access to RIC and Wildwinds and he may starve, but his coins will be attributed through his
own efforts.  ;D

You needed to identify who is shown on the coin? Her name is printed boldly right on the front as Frederic pointed out... AELIA PULCHERIA, if I remember correctly she was the daughter of Arcadius. If you want the coin attributed in full you will need to show a photo of the reverse as well.

Shame that he may struggle to continue with his unique brand of creativity as long as he, and many others, would have wanted.  :(  see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/13/terry_prachett_alzheimers/
