Magistrate not recorded in Münsterberg. VF, matte dark green patina, surfaces slightly rough. A unique and apparently unpublished medallic bronze. Drewry Coll.; ex Burstein Coll., Peus 366 (10/2000), lot 606.
The only bronze of Severus Alexander for Pordoselene, and the only medallic sized coin for the island. The edge of the coin has been lightly tapped to create a raised rim; sestertii with this edge effect are sometimes referred to as "proto-contorniates." This coin was probably a presentation piece. mounted in a phalera for display. In the Peus catalogue it is described as lead, but in actuality is a poor quality bronze alloy.
