eAuction #8, Lot 66. Estimate: CHF 450.00
Severus Alexander (222-235 AD). AE25 (8.71 g), Selge, Pisidia. Obv. AY K M AYP CЄOV AΛЄΞANΔPOC CЄB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, decorated with eagle with spread wings on part of cuirass. Rev. CЄΛΓЄΩN, Athena standing left, holding transverse spear upwards in left and patera in right hand. BMC -; SNG France 5 -; SNG Aulock -; SNG Leypold -; SNG Glasgow -; Lindgren I + III -; Mionnet -; Imhoof-Blumer KM -, but cf. p. 407, 30a for a coin of Mamaea with the same reverse type (no picture).
Apparently unpublished. Lovely hard turquoise patina. About extremely fine.
Ex Sternberg XVI (1985), 318 (illustrated on separate colour plate and sold for 750 CHF plus fees).
The die cutter apparently run out of space at the end of the obverse legend, so he had to finish the emperor's name and titles in very small letters.
