I do very much like provincials and think I'm getting pretty good at ID'ing them, but I still get totally stumped from time to time. This is one I'm surprised to have not found a match for. A fairly generic design though with a seemingly distinct style. Obverse has bare head right with an oddly prominent eye. Reverse has deity standing left, holding cornucopia and _. With the bare head, I'm suspecting a 2nd/3rd century caesar but again, I have no leads. 21mm 3.62g 3h Thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction! Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 09/08/2025 2:13 pm I feel like young Marcus Aurelius had much more rounded curls on most of his coins, but I guess this could just be an obscure eastern mint that was more stylized. I was looking at Commodus/Geta/Diadumenian/Sev. Alexander/Maximus and came up with nothing. Some Diadumenian had similar style portraits (Cotiaeum) but the reverse isn't a match to anything from there. Report this Post to the Staff
