Numis1557 Posted November 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Greetings everyone, I am relatively new to the fascinating world of numismatics. Recently, I came across a coin and have been diligently trying to identify it, but my efforts have been in vain so far. Here is what I've been able to uncover about the coin: - It's a Roman imperial coin made of silver. - The reverse features Venus, a fact confirmed by an inscription that reads "VENVSV...". (perhaps VENVS VICTRIX?) - Venus is depicted holding what appears to be a bird (or perhaps an apple?) in her left hand and a sceptre in her right. - On the obverse, I recognize a diademed (female?) figure, bearing a striking resemblance to the bust of Julia Mamaea. Could anyone lend a hand in identifying this coin? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! I've been primarily using https://numismatics.org/ocre/ for my quest to unravel the mystery of this coin. It looks a lot like this coin, but I remain uncertain... http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.sa.358 Thank you in advance, Warm regards.
