paid $2 HR in ligate form is one of several choices (N & S are rare; palm and HR are common) but I fail to find theories on what they stood for. The palm and HR were also used at Lugdunum mint but the other choices were different. I find it interesting that the works I checked don't even care to comment on possibilities but saying 'don't know' is hard for scholars. |

I think your mintmark on the Victory commemorative is SMTS Delta making it either RIC VII 188 or 230 (to be honest I don't see the difference between the two).

Thanks for the compliments. I'm not sure which coin I like best, but I find it interesting the different style of helmet for each coin even with two being from Siscia. The middle coin was struck at Constantinople.

Funny/sad, because I now look at that coin and think of the great, late biggfredd ... Quote:

Not sure of this coin. It has the City Commemorative obverse, but the reverse has two victories with a globe. The mint mark V or A on an angle, crescent with a star and then M or N maybe an H..I think this is a very cool looking coin...haven't seen one like this on the Forum before...any help would be great....   |
