Special Gift
« on: January 03, 2009, 10:20:10 pm »


Any gift that someone gives me is a special gift - but this one is quite special, because of who it is from and the subject of the coin - Hermes, probably my favorite deity.

Septimius Severus
AE 17; 3.08 g; 7h;
AV KAI CE - [CEVHPOC]; Bust of Sept. Severus right.
NIKOPOLI - T - PROC IC; Hermes, nude, chlamys over left shoulder, draped across arm; in extended right, purse, in left arm kerykeion.
Same obverse as Pick 1373, but did not see particular die in list of examples and variants that he provides, but it certainly belongs to this number as variant.
