I recently received this nice Constantius Gallus Fel Temp falling horseman, minted in Thessalonica. I have described this coin as follows:
AE Centenionalis
Constantius Gallus, 351-354 CE
Diameter: 22 mm, Weight: 4.15 grams, Die Axis: 11h
Obverse: D N CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES
Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust to right.
Reverse: FEL TEMP REPARATIO
Soldier on right holding shield, spearing falling enemy horseman on left. Horseman sits facing soldier with hands extended upwards.
Mint: *TSЄ* , Γ in field to left, * in field to right: Thessalonica
I believe RIC 177 records *TSЄâ€¢, but the last symbol in the exergue of my example looks like another star to me. I don't actually have a copy of RIC; is there a *TSЄ* listed? Has anyone spotted another example of this mint mark?
There is a ✶TSA✶ series with Γ /✶ in the fields; but RIC only lists examples for Constantius II; so it is not in RIC and it is a very nice example. Wildwinds has an example, but it is described as RIC 177 which, as you stated, has a • at the end.
below is the picture
Thank you Victor for taking the time to check RIC, and for hunting down the Wildwinds example! It looks like there are at least two reverse dies, so I'm sure there are others around.
