ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2496 Posts	Posted 03/06/2024 11:15 pm Hi again, I can't make out the legend on the obverse, but the ruler facing right with a pearl or laureate diademed. Reverse: GLOR IAEXERC ITVS Two soldiers facing each other, holding spears with resting hand on shields, either side of one standard. Cyzicus mintmark in exergue SMK? possibly Γ or Β 15.5Φ 1.99g I think the possibilities are limited to Delmatius, Constantine I or II, or Constans Would appreciate any insight Cheers The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 02:14 am Yes, reverse legend is GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, Cyzicus officina 3 (SMKΓ)? Two soldiers with a standard between.

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2496 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 05:52 am Thank you both, yes I see the legend now. Looking through Wildwinds and acsearch I can't see a reference for SMK off.3. I'll try ERIC CHEERS The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 2:20 pm I probably got the officina letter wrong - it's hard to read on the coin.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 2:25 pm This type I believe: https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.7.cyz.123 Officina looks like a B to me, with that edge being a bit more weakly struck than the rest of the coin, but Γ is still a possibility for the type.

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2496 Posts	Posted 03/07/2024 3:21 pm Thanks again Tanman, I never thought of OCRE, sometimes I have connectivity issues with that site. I'm leaning more towards Γ now that it's a possibility. Thanks again both of you. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
