expat Posted March 3, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2023 I have looked through Wildwinds , Ocre and sold listings galore but a ref for this eludes me. The closest I can find with mintmark VI in exergue has the obverse legend with a C after IMP. This one is almost identicle but with no C after IMP. Any Aurelian collectors out there with some greater knowledge? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat Posted March 3, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Thank you @shanxi. I completely missed the mintmark notation on the ocre page. Time for a visit to the optician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabius Posted March 4, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 4, 2023 For Aurelian this website is also useful: https://ric.mom.fr/en/home I think your coin is #1695: https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1695 On OCRE they have it as being minted in Siscia while on MER-RIC they have minted in Rome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
