Yes, I'm just waiting for the molasses-in-January page and plate to print out of the .pdf of Imh-Bl's
Griechische Münzen. Then I'll scan them as .jpg (cropping the entry and the coin) and post them here.
I couldn't miss the
Athena with the
shield in front of her legs (so unlike what I know) and the SEPTIMIOS spelled out. This is the coin that Beamtennamen cited. Yes, my coin must be exceedingly
rare, but I'd rather, since it is interesting, that it was a couple of grades higher in preservation and merely somewhat
scarce. I mean,
Berlin has the one Imh-B listed (and Münsterberg cited from him). I wish mine weren't possibly unique. I think the graceful deity at right might be
Isis; the one at left is certifiedly
Athena, and the
obverse die is all but certainly the same as on the
Berlin coin, Taf.
VIII, 28 for its
reverse.
I say: this unidentified coin has been worth every small penny for all of us! I am so glad that I got it. I love big bronzes, and
Geta as
Augustus in
Asia Minor is always worth going for. This is fun. I couldn't afford a Lebedos silver coin.
I'll post the illustrations, such as they are, when I get them. I don't know how to paste a
bit of .pdf directly into one of these windows.

I think the 'unbestimmte Attribut' on Athena's hand, judging from my coin, may be a
Nike, which accords well with the triple plumes on her helmet, cited on the
Berlin coin, which means they're thinking of something Parthenos-like.
