Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 12:44 pm After months of having them sit there, I've been spending the morning going through some unidentified coins. This lovely AE-22 of Severus Alexander (222-235 AD) has me stumped. I've looked online for reverse designs of a serpent coming out of a basket and haven't had any luck. I'm also not sure of the city where it was struck. The coin weighs 4.39 grams. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
