bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/20/2011 11:31 pm It does help - I'm happy now that there is nothing; left of bust, under horse, in left field reverse. I think we are now left with just 6: Sirmium 49 or 53 Siscia 351 or 354 Aquileia 200 or 203 It might sound crazy but style wise I would lean towards Sirmium. looking at a limited number of examples your bust and the arm curving wide around the spear on the reverse make me feel that way. Its late here now so will look again in the morning to see if I still feel the same. This is the 'Challenge coin' so it would be a shame to stop here Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/21/2011 09:24 am Well, slept on it and may be able to add a bit more. I'm also still happy with the assumptions that got it down to 10 coins. Here is your mintmark: I think I can see: ?, Top of an 'S', ?, ?, Top of an 'M'. The only remaining coins that this fits with are from Sirmium, reassuring as that was what the style looked like to me anyway: Sirmium 49 - ASIRM or BSIRM Sirmium 53 - BSIRM dot I think there may be enough detail on the first character to have a good guess at it being 'A' or 'B' but I wouldn't like to say either way. Not bad considering what we started with! Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/21/2011 1:26 pm I never thought anyone would be able to attribute this coin, but I believe through the collaborative effort we have it narrowed down to one coin, with two possible shops. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks to all JW Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 09/21/2011 2:45 pm As luck would have it, I have a Sirmium Gallus Falling Horseman. Realizing there are probably a thousand dies of such a common coin this will not be a 100% match but it can be used to compare. Report this Post to the Staff
