maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 05:15 am I have to adisagree with some of the information provided above. echizento states that the coin is RIC 516 dating to 187-188 A.D. This simply cannot be the case as it contradics much of what is visible on the coin. RIC 516 is IMP XIII, whilst IMP XI has been stated and is clearly visible. RIC 516 does not have FOR RED in exe either. This coins comes from the first IMP XI issue and dates to A.D. 186 according to RIC. Now look at what obverse legend is visible. OMM is clear and FEL is visible to the right of the bust. That would imply M COMM ANT P FELIX AVG BRIT as being a good match. Occasionally we have some odd ways in which RIC notes reverse legends and this coin seems to highlisht one such oddity. This coin has FOR RED in exe but this issue doesn't seem to have any coins starting P M TR P XI with FOR RED in exe. but for some reason this coin has been entered as FOR RED P M TR P ... This we have a full match to a RIC entry of RIC 477, which is a dupondius with full legend and type match. Cohen 151. Rant over. Martin Report this Post to the Staff
Coinage123 Valued Member United Kingdom 449 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 6:26 pm Thanks Martin for clearing that up. Its greatly appreciated. Coin arrived a few days ago however I have been quite busy and only managed to get it photographed this evening. Personally, it looks much better in hand than I thought. (It is much darker than the original seller image portrays.) Edited by Coinage123 11/25/2013 6:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
