Gordian I. AD 238. Æ Sestertius (30.5mm, 20.66 g, 12h). Rome mint. Struck 1-22 April. IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AFR AVG, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / PROVIDENTIA AVGG, Providentia, draped, standing left, legs crossed, holding wand in right hand over globe set at feet to left and cornucopia in left hand, resting left arm on column; S C across field. RIC IV 9; BMCRE 5-6 var. (rev. legend break); Banti 3 (this coin illustrated). Attractive green-brown patina, some doubling. Good VF.

From the Wayne Scheible Collection. Ex Harlan J. Berk inventory cc21633 (ND); Numismatica Ars Classica 18 (29 March 2000), lot 644; Leu 2 (25 April 1972), lot 433.

Banti notes this coin as a variety with only one G in the reverse legend and without the cornucopia. However, when inspected in hand, both features are present amidst the doubling making this coin synonymous with Banti 5 rather than a unique variety.
