Sallent New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/12/2017 7:07 pm Here is a beauty I acquired from another forum member at another forum. It is my first Hadrianopolis provincial, and a nice theme to boot as I didn't have any coins with river Gods on them. The obverse is a little off center and the coin does have circulation wear and mild porosity, but for now uncommon these are and the high prices they usually go for, I'm not complaining. I got a heck of a deal on this one...There are some on vcoins.com in worse shape (broken coins, etc) selling for triple what this cost me. Enjoy this rare beauty: Thrace, Hadrianopolis. Gordian III. A.D. 238-244. Æ (24 mm, 8.54 g, 6 h). AVT K M AN[T] Gamma;OPDelta;IANOC (AVGamma;), laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian III right / ADelta;PIAN-O-Pi;O-Lambda;EITOmega;N, the river-god Hebrus reclining left on overturned vase from which water flows, holding reed and rudder. Youroukova 470 (V230/R456); Varbanov 3836. Brown patina, light porosity. Well, show off your Gordian, river gods, coins from Hadrianopolis, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

I thought it was pretty common. (Mind you, the river god on that particular type isn't especially prominent, what with it being the 6th century.) Report this Post to the Staff
