NathanF Posted December 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hi all, From the portrait on this coin, I'm pretty certain it is a Marcus Aurelius provincial but beyond that, I am stumped and have had no luck on RPC. Any help would be much appreciated! 5.8g 18mm 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted December 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 Difficult. I think it's https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/7958 But the unreadable legend (on RPC and your coin) makes me uncertain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevikens Posted December 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 From the portrait alone I would have guessed Antoninus Pius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted December 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 The portrait clearly indicates Marcus Aurelius as Augustus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are right, the lack of legends makes it difficult to identify but I thought the reverse looked distinctive enough to figure out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
