Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 12:24 pm Hey, I got another coin requiring some ID help. It's got the legend "AVK MANTROPAIANOC" on the obverse and "ECCA?VNIKEON" on the reverse. It's 25mm and weighs in at 7.3 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 12:43 pm Reverse...Hygieia standing right, feeding serpent? Probably not a match but something like this.. https://www.biddr.com/auctions/numi...01&l=1507318 Edited by Palouche 03/13/2021 12:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 7:11 pm Thanks Palouche!!! The reverse of my coin is an exact match! Now all I have to do is find a match for the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 5:50 pm Thanks @Kushanshah, I still cannot find this coin with the correct obverse. It's really beginning to irrorate me. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 9:54 pm I've had a good look online and in my references but I can't find an exact match to both obverse and reverse on the same coin but either is easy to find alone. I would describe your coin as follows: Moesia Inferior (Thrace), Markianopolis, Severus Alexander, AD 218-235, AE 25mm, Julius Gaeticus magistrate (c. 222-224). O: AVT K M AVP CEVH - AΛEΞANΔPOC. Laureate bust right wearing cuirass and paludamentum, seen from behind. R: VΠ IOV ΓETOVΛ-IK-OV MAPKIANOΠ; in left field, OΛ; in right field, IT; in exergue, ΩN. Hygieia standing facing, head right, feeding serpent from patera. Cf. Varbanov 1745, Moushmov 724 and AMNG I/1, 990. Edited by Kushanshah 03/18/2021 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
