Nice rarity!

Hi folks,

As soon as I looked at it, I immediately suspected Pamphylia, Aspendos.

Yes, it appears that all coins of this type, regardless of issuing emperor, are rare to extremely rare.

I have the Augustus version of this type (first coin):

My example is a pedigreed coin from the Lindgren collection. I purchased it from Mr. Lindgren before he passed away.

It seems that the authors of some of the older reference books were confused regarding the issuing country and/or city.
