Does anyone know how they identified officina 6 for the Probus above?


The only other mark on these apart from those mentioned above and the Greek (A-B-Delta-Gamma-E-Z) marks is XXIIV.

Common sense would say it is for 4 but maybe its for 6

Those are the only (12) marks I can find for CM marked coins from Cyzicus - also with a plain XXI.

There is a symbol used there, looks like a lower case 'h' with a horizontal bar at the top, is that it?

Cool - I've never actually seen one on a coin before, are they hard to find?

Unmarked, A, B, Gamma, Delta, E, BMC, CXXIM, CM, CM/XXI, CM/XXIP, CM/XXIS, CM/XXIT, CM/XXIQ, CM/XXIV, CM/XXIA, CM/XXIB, CM/XXIGamma, CM/XXIDelta, CM/XXIE, CM/XXIh, CM/XXI.h., CM/XXIZ

The rarest ones are BMC and CM.
