Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 07:41 am Thats a posthumous issue for Claudius II, the legend is CONSECRATIO.The eagle is rendered in many styles, and a lot of unofficial mints churned out this type, so its not unusual tonot be able to find a similar one.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 1:12 pm Try using google images. Search Claudius II Consecratio, you'll find examples interspersed. You could also try Claudius' wildwinds page to compare the mints. Luckily, this issue doesn't have a V in it - you could run into trouble trying to research any legend with a you or a V, as they were interchangable, and some people will keep te latin V, and others wont.
