eAuction #50, Lot 134. Estimate: CHF 100.00

Maximinus I (235-238 AD). AE31 (16.22 g), Ninica-Claudiopolis, Cilicia.
Obv. C IUL UЄΠ MAXIMUΓ CAЄГ (!), laureate, draped and cuirassed of Maximinus I to right; five countermarks: three (!) figures of Victory-Nike,
Rev. COL NINIC - CLAV, She-wolf standing right under tree, suckling the twins.
SNG Levante -. SNG Paris -. SNG PFPS 981.

Beautiful light green patina.

This is a most unusual coin: The - obviously Greek - die cutter combined a blundered legend for Maximus Caesar with the laureate and bearded portrait of Maximinus I. Later, five countermarks were applied, of which no less than three are the same Victory-Nike punch.
