EGYPT, Alexandria. Claudius II Gothicus
year 3, CE 269/70
tetradrachm, 20 mm, 10.2 gm
Obv: AVTKKΛAVΔIOCCEB (In theory: what I can read on this coin doesn't quite match what the legend is supposed to be. Probably just engraver error or die deterioration); laureate head right
Rev: Tyche standing left with rudder and cornucopia; L Γ in left field
Ref: Emmett 3896 (3), R4
My favorite find from a large mixed lot, Stack's Bowers Nov. 2013. Tyche is rendered in a particularly artistic manner.
Translation of legend abbreviations:
AVT K KΛAVΔIOC CEB
Imperator Caesar Claudius Augustus
L Γ
year 3
