A Unique Provincial of Crispina I Submitted to RPC


Roman Collector

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased this provincial of Crispina from Side in Pamphylia. I wasn't able to find it in any of the standard references and so I submitted it to RPC. As of this morning, it has been added as the exemplar of the issue! It's an obverse die match to RPC IV.3, 10438 (temporary).

Congratulations on the rare find, @Roman Collector

Although not a Faustina, or Side, this one is from Pamphylia, and like yours, it seems to be unpublished, except for the Wildwinds example.  Perhaps I should submit it to RPC?
