| Lot number: 1354 | |
| Lot description: The Roman Empire Tranquillina, wife of Gordian III Drachm, Caesarea Cappadociae 240-241, AR 3.44 g. CABINIA TPANKVΛΛΙΝA AY Diademed and draped bust r. Rev. MHTPO KAICBN Mount Argaeus; in upper l. field, pellet and, in exergue, ΕΤΔ. Sydenham Caesarea Suppl. 617a var. (no pellet). Bland 59. Very rare and in exceptional condition for the issue. Extremely fine. Ex Helios sale 2, 2008, 385. An exceptionally delicate portrait of this rare empress, and on good silver for this provincial coin. In my view, silver coins from the Eastern provincial mints are deserving a place in Roman portrait collections. Many follow the portrait styles defined in Rome and some offer fascinating local artistic qualities. AMP. Estimate: 1500 CHF |  |
