Claudius II coin

4 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 48 φορές

Hello, 

 

I recently acquired a coin that I believe is from the reign of Claudius II, however I can't find any pictorial matches on either Numista, Wildwinds, or OCRE. Based on the available descriptions, I believe this may be a dupondius described here on Numista:

 

N#290212

 

and here on OCRE

 

http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.cg.123

 

but with what appears to be an “S” in the exergue as an officina mark rather than “ϵ”

 

I would love to hear from others more knowledgeable about these coins to either confirm my ID or giude me towards a different direction. 

 

Thank you!

Looking at more examples, I'm wondering if the right sie of the reverse figure might be a shield rather than branches. Still haven't found a good pictorial match though. 

Weight and diameter? Judging from the photo alone I'd say it's an antoninianus not a dupondius.

 

Something like, obverse, reverse and mint mark all fit: N#290315

I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

I believe you are correct -Thank you cro321 !
