MOESIA INFERIOR, Nicopolis ad Istrum(?). Anonymous issue. 1st-3rd century AD. Æ Tessera (12mm, 0.68 g, 6h). Bull standing right / Three stars over crescent. H&J, Nikopolis 8.(?)0.48.12. Good VF, green patina, hold (as made?).
This tesserae is related to a curious series that appears to originate from the Moesia area. Known specimens feature a great variety of deities and animals on the obverse, with the vast majority sharing the same reverse type of three stars atop a crescent, though some are known with more stars. All examples known to this cataloger are holed, suggesting a non-monetary role function for the series.
