Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 4:34 pm I am having trouble attributing this coin. I believe it to be an AE3 of Honorius RIC 146, minted at Nicomedia. But I can't seem to put my finger on a coin attributed with the star in the right field. Anyone have an idea? OBV: DN HONORIVS PF AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right REV: GLORIA ROMANORVM, Honorius standing front, head right, holding a globe & labaram, star in right field, SMNA in ex.

It does have the star in right field though. I've not had any luck with Not in RIC yet but it can take a while searching to find what your looking for. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 5:42 pm That's got to be it. I don't have the coin in hand just yet, so it is possible the seller misidentified it as an AE3. In wildwinds, 46c is listed as "SMNGamma" in exergue, so I would assume the A is the workshop and may not have been listed in RIC. I will wait further investigation until I have the coin in hand.

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 5:58 pm No probs - it could be a 'Not in RIC'. SMNGamma without star and SMNB with star are both covered by 46c 46b does contain an SMNA with star for Arcadius but not Honorius! It may be in another RIC, I know some of the later books cover areas not fully catalogued earlier. You may have a lot of book-worming to do when it arrives to decide for sure. Nice find.
