For the life of me I couldn't make out PACI on the reverse or I probably could have found it. Thanks buddy. Edited by mkmk139 07/18/2018 01:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't read PACI immediately, though I thought the reverse type might be Pax based on her attributes. I went directly to RIC and used the date TRP XXIII which narrowed it down to a very few possibilities. Also helpful were two big mugs of coffee Edited by Kushanshah 07/18/2018 02:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

Second, you have just seen first hand the power of CCF--dozens of experienced numismatists from around the world hanging out and wanting to help others with their questions about coins. I hope we get to see some other coins from your collection--even if you have already attributed them.
