AUCTION: Sale 269

Description

JULIA PAULA, first wife of Elagabalus. Augusta, 219-220 AD. AR Denarius (19mm - 2.78 g). Rome mint. IVLIA PAVLA AVG, draped bust right / CONCORDIA, Concordia seated left, holding patera in right hand; star in right field. RIC IV 211 (Elagabalus); BMCRE 171 (Elagabalus); RSC 6. Pleasing VF, lightly toned. Scarce.

Evidently the variety with the star in the right field is much rarer than the variety with the star in the left field. A quick scan of Coin Archives shows about 20 with stars in the left field for every 1 with stars to the right.
