Roman Collector Posted November 5, 2023 · Patron Posted November 5, 2023 While writing an upcoming installment of Faustina Friday (spoiler alert!), I came across this listing in Cohen: Cohen cites "T" for the existence of the coin. However, in his introduction (p. XXVII), he doesn't mention what T stands for. Anyone know what Cohen means by this?? 1 2 Quote
Sulla80 Posted November 5, 2023 · Supporter Posted November 5, 2023 I find the same that you do - possible that the T is just a mistyped F? searching the text for "T. OR" turns up 18 examples that are all mis-indexed "F. OR" or "V. OR".

Great detective work @Roman Collector...now that you found it, easy to see Turin mentioned more explicitly in Cohen v. 2 for other coins: I didn't find your specific coin of interest, but this may be a useful link to Filippo Lavy, Torino, 1840, Museo numismatico https://archive.org/details/museonumismatic01lavygoog/page/n194/mode/2up?q=FAVSTINA Edited November 5, 2023 by Sulla80 1 Quote
