Congratulations @Amentie but you coin is PAX A AGVSTI not PAX A AVGVSTI

It's also the 4th specimen known (so far I remember) after Vienna, BM (ex Curtis Clay) and mine

Wenn ich mich nicht sehr täusche, habe ich jetzt auch einen Antoninian aus Antiochia in meiner Sammlung...

und wenn ich mich nicht irre, sind es jetzt, kaum 2 Monate später, schon 2...

you are right, Antioch, second issue, phase B

I have just read your exchange carefully, for me on this last one, Gordian wears the radiate crown as on the antoninians, and this can justify this "big" head It is not impossible that a reference (perhaps involuntary) to the statue exists because the scene of adventus required a model to be engrave...

I personnaly read KOINON MAKEDONΩN NEΩ the B (of B NEΩ for second neocorate) is one of the key for the identification of such pseudo-autonomous coins. because It was awarded by Elagabalus, withdrawn by Alexander Severus and returned by Gordian. If I'm right, this coin could be issued before Elegabal...

to me it's not in RPC VI, reverse is similar to type 459 but it's a different obverse... and so it could be a new type here is my full description ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ; diademed head of Alexander the Great, right, with flowing hair; below, star ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΝΕΩ; Alexander the Great riding Bucephalus gallo...

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...

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 ...

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,...

... 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...

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...
