The coin intrigued me and I spent some time trying to work out its pedigree. I feel that I have come to a dead end in my search and I would much appreciate some help from the experts. In spite of its wear I believe I can make out the goddess Juno Moneta holding scales and a cornucopia on the reverse of the coin. The writing I can make around the goddess is "apilo" or apilc" and "panellin"? The latter alluding to "panhellenic"? The portrait on the obverse could be Hadrian or Diocletian. I am intrigued about the "Roman" type design and the Greek lettering. Likely from the Eastern Roman Empire? Any assistance in identifying this coin would be much appreciated Squire Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 09:15 am Could that be an odd legend break with Π CE of a Geta? Could it be an E rather than L? Wouldn't have thought Geta here, but? No time to hunt...gotta get to work. Edited by Kamnaskires 01/29/2021 09:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 7:24 pm Thanks Bob L and louisvillekyshop You guys are awesome I think I may have found a coin that is very close to mine. At https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/an...Default.aspx Described in the above reference as "Caracalla AE32 of Pautalia, Thrace. AVT M AVPE ANTWNEINOC, laureate head right / OVLPIAC PAVTALIAC, Nemesis-Aequitas standing left with scales & cornucopiae. pautalia AE32 Moushmov 4251. No.2107" Same reverse. Same profile of the Emperor Caracalla. Even the knot in the headband at the nape of the Emperors neck is reproduced in the coin I have. However, I am not entirely satisfied with the match between the lettering on the rim of the obverse. For the coin in my possession it is possible that in striking the coin some of the letters have been truncated? Squire Report this Post to the Staff
