Description

Ionia, Ephesus. Geta. A.D. 209-212. AE 17 (17.4 mm, 2.41 g, 6 h). ΑΥΤ Κ ΠΟ Є ΓЄΤΑ (or similar), laureate, bearded head of Geta right / ЄΦЄ ΙΩΝ, boar standing right, transfixed by a spear. Karwiese 549 var. (obv. legend); SNG Leypold 588 var. (same); SNG Copenhagen 432-3. Fine, green patina, pierced.

Karwiese attributes this type to Geta as Caesar but that seems unlikely due to his full beard, it was likely struck in the last year of his life.
