EMMISSION: 4
WEIGHT: 4,19 / AXIS:12h / DIAMETER: 21,5mm
RIC 925 (ANTIOCHIA)
COLLECTION NO. 1245

Attribution of this coin to the 4th unspecified oriental mint instead of Antiochia (as in RIC V.II) is based on the article by S. Estiot, "L�Empereur et l�usurpateur: un 4e atelier oriental sous Probus"; Studies in ancient coinage in honor of Anndrew Burnett, Spink, London, 2015.

Only 1 specimen of this type is cited in the above article. Apparently only the second known specimen (with dot after A)!

C'est tout. Toutes commentaires seront appreciees! Bonne nuit!
