Unknown Roman Coin #9

6 posts • viewed 80 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 2.84g and around 18mm. 

 

Hope to hear what this is!

Haven't got a 100% match, but looks like a Julianus II nummus, reverse VOT X MVLT XX. 

Mintmark is near unreadable to me.

I agree, Julianus II., VOT X MVLT XX: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome&r=&st=1-2&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=125&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=*vot+x*&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw=


The mintmark is tricky, I can't read most of it. But maybe the 5th letter is a C or an E? If that is true, it can be Heraclea: N#24669, with HERACLA or HERACLB mintmark.

Hello, I don't know if that would be the case as I see the mintmark having a couple more letters than what it would be for Heraclea. Here is another image closer up:

Have you got an answer for this?

I don't know which mintmark could it be. There are some other variations here, that are not in Numista yet, but none of them looked like a perfect fit: https://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=fulltext%3Avot+x+mvlt+xx+AND+authority_facet%3A%22Julian+the+Apostate%22+AND+material_facet%3A%22Bronze%22
