Marcus
Aurelius, 139 - 180 AD,
AE 24 of Colonia Philipensus
Laureate bust right / Roma within
city walls Comment- An
internationally known numismatist has an example of this coin, and says
his is 1 of 2 known to exist, with the second example being in the BM. So
my coin is apparently the third known example of this type.
