From the Samuel Puchala Collection. Not in the standard catalogues under Elagabalus, but a specimen of this coin was reported in 1886 and misattributed to Caracalla: ASFN 1886, p. 101 = BMC p. 442, (d) = RIC-234 = RSC-90c. Specimens known today, apart from ours and the one in the Spink catalogue cited above: one in Vienna and one in Tom Cederlind's stock in 2002. The Cederlind coin is from the same dies as the Vienna specimen, and may or may not be identical with the one in the Spink catalogue of 1997: we cannot locate our copy of that catalogue to check.Weakly struck reverse Weakly struck reverse.
