konratax New Member Bulgaria 2 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 02:21 am Hey guys, Can you help me figure out this coin I have two of those, this one is around 2.6 cm in diameter, the other is a bit smaller and in worst condition (so no photo). Any help helps and sorry for the crappy pic. Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 03:29 am Konratax!! A bit out of my area of knowledge but I am sure wiser heads will chime in when they get a chance. At first glance, it looks like a provincial coin from Marcianopolis. Possibly Geta, but I suppose it could also be a young Caracalla. Regards, -Kurt Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 05:58 am I agree with Geta and Marcianopolis for this one but if the other is smaller, it is not the same coin so no photo means no ID. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 08:15 am agree it looks like Geta, but I think it may have been struck at Hadrianoplis. I cannot read the legends on your images, but it looks like: AE21 of Hadrianopolis-Sebaste, Phrygia. 5.32 gr. L CEP GETAC KAI, bare-headed, cuirassed bust right / ADRI ARC POTEITO, Tyche standing left, holding rudder and cornucopiae. Take a look at this image on wildwinds: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/geta...GvA_8372.jpg Do you have a way of measuring and weighing the coin. This can help in any attribution. And, BTW, welcome Regards Report this Post to the Staff
