Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 7:26 pm I think it was upside down- IDK if that helps. Edited by Matt2018 01/25/2018 7:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 8:09 pm Yes. if you horizontally turn the coin the figure on the reverse side is upside down compared to the emperor on the front side. Strange. Never saw that before. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 9:31 pm I suspect it's Hadrianopolis ([Α]ΔΡΙΑΝΟΠΟ...), not Marcianopolis. Wildwinds has something like a hundred different types for Gordian III in Hadrianopolis (and there are probably others that it doesn't have), so I have no idea which it is specifically.
