Mopsos (AD 41-54) AE 25 - Claudius

Claudius, 41-54 AD. AE25 (11.00g, 12h). Dated CY 110 (42/3 AD). Laureate head right / Zeus seated left, holding Nike and scepter; two monograms in left field, P[I] (date) behind Zeusâ€™ head, monogram before throne. Near VF, green patina. Only one specimen cited in RPC (now in the British Museum), no additional in supplements.

This coin reveals that the two monograms in the left field (the lower monogram is off the flan of the British Museum coin) are not the same as RPC 4052 and 4053, which were struck the same year, as was tentatively (and logically) assumed by the authors.
