Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 4:52 pm I believe this coin to be RIC VII 306 but I cannot find any other coin with that reference that has XX(star) in the exergue. All the ones that I can find that come close have XXI(Dot). Being new to the game, am I 'missing' something here? Does anyone have any thoughts on this for me please?

CONCORDIA MILITUM Diocletian standing right accepting Victory on a globe from Jupiter standing left,officina letter (A) in lower centre. XX(Star) in exergue Cyzicus Mint.

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 5:30 pm Mmmmm. It's an awfully short 'I' then. I have to admit that the photo does show a bit of a 'shank' in the 'star', whereas in hand that is not visible and it looks definitely like a 'star'. Thanks, Ron. I am 'happy' then.
