Your identification is correct, and you are right, there is indeed something above the right shoulder that is not described because at this stage, we do not know what it is.

Previously only known from an unique and uncompleet picture from the M. Prieur's database, I'm proud to share here with you my 18th type of antiochene tetradrachm which is actually the onlyone known for the type Obverse inscription : ΑΥΤΟΚ Κ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ Obverse design : radiate head of Gordi...

Congratulations ! yes it's a rare type with Jupiter holding globe. the RIC 27 give description "Jupiter, nude to waist, seated ; at feet eagle" from "Cohen 190 (no authority quoted)" and in note it's mentionned "Eastern (?) : Cf. no. 170 below." so I didn't consider that reference. For Bland, I did ...

impressive quality ! congratulations! There is 2 possible varieties on VIRTVTI AVGVSTI antoninians, this one with club on rock and Hercules bare head but also Club on rock and Hercules wearing laurel wreath https://i25.servimg.com/u/f25/11/00/81/58/michau62.jpg https://i25.servimg.com/u/f25/11/00/81...

It's an antiochene radiate, this type of bust radiate and cuirassed right seen from rear it typical of the second issue of Antioch. By the way the reverse legend SAECVLI FELICITAS does only exist in Antioch, the same reverse (Gordian standing right holdinc spear and globe) does exist in Roma with le...

Hello, You're right, the third liberality took place in late 239 or early 240, so with the obverse legend IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG. The two coins you show are mules for which I know really few examples. Regarding cornucopias, usually LIBERALITAS AVG II has a double cornucopia LIBERALITAS AVG III h...

Proud to show you the coin which will probably be the best entry of the year with my 4th silver quinarius IMP C M ANT GORDIANVS AVG Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right seen from rear VICTORIA AVG Victoria advancing left holding palm and wreath 1.15g, 15mm pedigree NAC 153 18/05/2025 = ex Subak...

Congratulations I'm happy to know where this unique coin will now stay for years!

your 1st but I hope not last bust left ! enjoy it !

Please correct me, if I am using the wrong wording here: Transferstempel meant transfer dies; a die made not by engraving but by using force to transfer the coins image to a piece of metal (that ist then used as a die). This method is used today to produce forgeries and was for sure in the past. So...

... Wenn hybrid heißt das ja, daß der Stempel von Rom nach Antiochia transportiert wurde, um daraus (wohl) nicht-offizielle Münzen herzustellen. Der Antoninian ist ja gefüttert. ... Zum ersten Satz: Naja, nicht unbedingt; man kann davon ausgehen, dass es Transferstempel auch schon damals gab. Zum z...

Ich habe hier mal ein Münzlein, das mir ein paar Probleme bereitet: entweder ist die falsch (was ich eigentlich nicht glaube - obwohl: subaerat?) oder die ist recht selten. Briac hat unter Nr. 615 "nur" eine mit "R5" ausgezeichnete relativ ähnliche "VICTORIA AETERNA". Meine hier ist: Av. IMP GORDIA...

Misidentifications by sellers are unfortunately extremely common. Just yesterday, I bought a Tranquilline coin issued in Aphrodisias in Caria, but the seller listed it as Perinth in Thrace... I've also seen Gordian coins slip through the cracks because they were being offered for sale as Elagabalus,...

Noch eine Koinon Münze :? :? Ich denke es ist diese: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5702209 aus der Zeit des Gordian III und hier ist der selbe Avers doch der Tisch am Revers ist anders: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/7.2/122A Auf der beigelegten Notiz die ich bekommen habe, steht: AE ...

They don't always include coins in the absence of images to support the descriptions. I've encountered this situation before, too, with Gordian coins. This is the case, for example, with this provincial medallion, which was only added when I discovered the specimen on ebay. They then also included t...

When I see the number of new types added to RPC VII.2 since its publication, I'm not at all surprised that yours could be a new type. And the state of preservation doesn't matter, here are a few coins from my collection which are low conservation but plate RPC https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/7.2/2...
