This isn't my area of expertise, but it looks to be pretty close to this: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1025422 Quote: ROMAN. COLONIAL. TRAJAN (A.D.98-117) Colonial Tridrachm, Ag, A.D. 103-111, Caesarea mint in Cappadocia Caesarea mint in Cappadocia Av: AYTOKP KAIC NEP TPAIANOC CEB GEPM DAK, laureate, bust of Trajan right, drapery on left shoulder. Rv: DHMAPX - EX YPATO E, Arabia standing left "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 06/17/2025 12:22 pm Spence nearly has it. This type is normally attributed to Bostra Arabia now. And this is likely the smaller drachm (~3g) rather than a tridrachm (10-11g). I can't identify the exact type with the right side of the reverse worn down, but it's one of RPC III, 4073-5: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/4073 Report this Post to the Staff
