Exergue:     ●SMANTA Mint Mark:     ●SMANTA Mint:     Antioch Primary Reference:     RIC VII 076 Reference2:     LRBC I, 1330 Reference3:     SRCV 3903 Reference4:     VM 005 Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com Price Sold For:     160 USD Grade:     aEF Notes:     (1) While it may be tempting to list this as RIC unrecorded, it is my opinion that RIC is incorrect in its listing of the mint-mark for this coin. The proposed mint-mark is improbable for the reverse design, and as such my interpretation is supported by LRBC and Maurice. (2) Classical Numismatic Group eAuction 178: Lot No. 220
