Unknown Roman (Provincial) Coin #4 [solved]

6 posts • viewed 42 times

Hello all, 

 

I have a coin here that I believe is from the Alexandria based on the bird, though the emperor is hard to determine and i cannot seem to find any indication to find the exact match. The coin is around 7.5g and around 20mm. 

Hope to hear what this is!

So this coin was one of the close ones that were for this, but the wings being closed makes me believe that this is an entirely different coin. Have you looked at any sites off of Numista that would have this coin?

I was looking at RPC when I found out that there's already a Numista entry for it.

 

Looking at RPC again, indeed there are two variants, one with closed wings and one with open wings.

https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/75727 (closed wings)

https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/75722 (open wings)

Except the wings, the rest is identical.

 

The Numista page shows the open wing variant, but I think it can be used for both.

Going to make an amendment on the page.

Ok I will wait till the amendment is done to add it, but i will mark this solved. Thanks!

The request is still pending, but know that I've only made a small text change at the reverse description, adding “with open or closed wings”.
