Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/20/2025 4:16 pm I have a very worn example of the Trajan provincial pictured below. Several years ago I located these photos but neglected to write down or save the actual attribution information. My example is an AE-31 that weighs 16.94 grams. Any help with an ID would be appreciated. Thanks! Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34472 Posts	Posted 05/20/2025 7:33 pm @paul, I'm definitely not an expert on these, but this seems to be somewhat close: IONIA, Smyrna. Trajan. AD 98-117. Æ Pentassarion See these acsearch links (same coin I think, but slightly different info from the sellers): https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=392890 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=12892500 Hope this helps get you started in your research. Added: looks like @tan identified the same coin as a match, which makes me feel more confident--they just have faster fingers.
