COIN

Unique ID: NLM-34C544

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A Roman copper alloy Radiate of Aurelian (270-75)and the mint is Rome, c. 270

Notes:

If the reverse identification is correct, this coin has been identified by S. Estiot (Monnaies de l'Empire romain XII.I, vol II, p. 286) as a hybrid with a reverse of Claudius II (268-70). This suggests this coin was struck very soon after the accession of Aurelian in AD 270.
