Very cool! The detail on the wing is amazing!

Looks like a Weeping Angel wing, albeit a small one. Whatever you do, don't blink!

The coin depicts one of the Gordon emperors on the obverse and Fortuna on the reverse. More specifically, as for Fortuna, she is the Roman Goddess of Luck, Fate, and Fortune. Here she is shown holding in one hand a cornucopia, or a horn of plenty, from which all good things flowed in abundance, representing her ability to bestow prosperity; in the other she holds a ship's rudder, to indicate that she is the one who controls how lives and fates are steered. On this coin, she is also shown enthroned, with the same attributes of rudder and cornucopia, but with a small wheel built into the chair, representing the cycles of fate and the ups and downs of fortune.
Fortuna Redux, one of the many aspects of Fortuna, was in charge of bringing people home safely, primarily from wars—redux means "coming back" or "returning".

Nice finds !

Very interesting items - CONGRATS! Andi

 

[Mackaydon]

You're welcome.
I'd vote for Gordian III on the obverse since the rule under Gordian I and II lasted only a total of 36 days whereas the rule of G III lasted from 238 to 244.

Gordian III AE Sestertius - FORTVNA REDVX

 

[Mackaydon]

Is yours also a sestertius-with approx. the same weight and diameter as the one you referenced above?
If so, that's about the same size as a US 1/2 dollar; a big coin.
Congrats on your finds!!

[AlexanderHun]

Hi, yes this size, the reason for such a high-sesterces, but there are even greater.

I'm still kindof green around here, but isn't this banner worthy?
I'm voting banner.

 

[AlexanderHun]

Hi, thank you, pretty big money, but not so rare that banner is
