RPC IV.3 Online 10173 (temporary). 7.72g, 23mm, 6h.Very Fine. Extremely Rare; only the second known example of this unidentified coin The only other example of this type was offered in Hirsch Auction 224 in 2002 and was the basis of RPC's scant catalogue entry. Neither the city nor the emperor could be confirmed by RPC, although the appearance of the portrait suggests that it is a member of the Antonine dynasty. This coin is the second example of the type and provides a few letters of the obverse legend which are not seen on the previous specimen. Identified type.
