            Gordian III, Lot of 2 antoniniani, first Antioch series. (238-244 
            AD). . Comprising (a) Silver antoninianus, 5.54 gm, Antioch, ca. 239 
            AD, IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, bust radiate, draped, cuirassed 
            right / CONCORDIA AVG, Concordia standing left, holding patera and 
            cornucopia, no altar at her feet. Apparently the only specimen known 
            without the altar at Concordia’s feet; not in Bland, RIC, or Cohen. 
            (b) Another similar coin, 4.38 gm, with the normal altar at 
            Concordia’s feet, but with two branches protruding from the altar, a 
            variant not in the standard catalogues, perhaps the only specimen 
            known. As Bland 9 (6 specimens), RIC 178a, and Cohen 58, but with 
            branches on the altar. TWO COINS IN LOT. Extremely fine. 

            Ex Triton V, 2002, George His Collection, lot 2063 and part of lot 
            2062; the first coin also ex Munzzentrum Koln, 24 February 1994.
