Unknown Roman Coin #8 [solved]

3 posts • viewed 42 times

Hello all, 

 

I have a coin here that I believe is from the Crisis of the Third Century, though the emperor is hard to determine. The coin is around 3.66g and around 20mm. There looks to be a female bust but I don't know who it is. 

 

Hope to hear what this is!

There are a few empresses from the 3rd century, such as Julia Domna, but given how worn the coin is, I think I'll leave it to the experts.

A small part of the obverse is readable, arond 10-12 hours it looks like …LONIN…, which points ot Salonina: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome&r=&st=1-2&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=215-305&i=*salonina+avg*&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw=&p=1

 

The reverse is a standing figure with a staff on the right and holding something in her other hand. This doesn't narrow down the possibilities, she had the same design with like a dozen different reverse texts. I can't read anything from the reverse, it's too far gone.
