Unlisted in catalogs Gordian III

1 post • viewed 34 times

Dear coin expertsI would be very grateful for your opinion to the pictured coin. My conjecture is the coin is so called hybrid coin. Reverse side Gordian III and averse side  could be Gordian II. Mattigli wrote that reverses VIRTUS AVGG and VIRTUS AVG were countinuously produced in the same workshop (RIC IV.3 Addenda general „in succession, in the same officinae“). I did not find any catalog number to the coin and any second piece known. Similar averses on Gordian II denarius are known (RIC IV Gordian II 3). My coin is 4 gr. Heavy and 22 mm diameter. Mint? Year of production? Estimated value? Could you confirm my conjecture?
