MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 09:47 am Sorry about the pictures, still adjusting to a new phone. Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated. Coin measures 18mm and the weight is 1.94gr. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 1:48 pm I think I can very tentatively read ...ΔIANOC for (probably) Gordian III, a prolific issuer of Roman provincials. But the letters prior to NOC are increasingly uncertain, so it could be some other people as well. I hope someone recognizes the reverse (some kind of temple perhaps?), and/or the portrait.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 8:39 pm Quite similar - except for the light weight - to Trajan AE's from Nicaea, Bithynia with altar reverses and ΔIOC in exergue. Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 11/16/2022 09:22 am Thanks guys. Thank you for the link Bob, I was leaning towards Trajan from the portrait, didn't realise there are as many variations of the Altar reverse. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 07:31 am In retrospect, I have to admit that ...AIANOS for Trajan fits the legible lettering even better. I'm honestly a little surprised how I didn't think of Trajan, that sure doesn't look like a 3rd century portrait but I was stuck thinking of 3rd century options anyway. Nice ID!
