Hello. I recently purchased a Roman coin but I am having trouble identifying which of the following to numista entries it belongs to:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces68980.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces134405.html

Both coin entries seem to match my coin, and I can't tell what the difference between he two entries are, and one of them seems to have a low quality image, further complicating things. Both articles show the same lettering on obverse and reverse, and the only noticeable difference seems to be a date (218 vs 219) which doesn't make sense since both coins have No date anyway. Could this be a duplicate entry in the database? Or is there something subtle I'm missing? And if the latter, how can I tell which variant my coin is?

Thanks,

​ The letter M
​FIDES MILITVM
​is after the standing figure on the first link, and before on the second.

I also made these ...

I thank you for your response and helpful photos, ZacUK, I was having trouble reading the one on the left. But the reverse of my coins seems only to deepen the mystery, as it has M and I in the space to the left of the woman's head, see below:


I guess that makes it closer to the one on the right in your post, but it still doesn't match either reverse perfectly, as I guess makes sense due to the ancient nature. I guess it would make the most sense if maybe the two entries were merged, and the 3 known variations were added as different strike types? I don't know, i'd love advice on what I should do here. I'm sorry if i'm overstepping my bounds, I'm sort of a noob who's been on the site for just over a year now, mainly to keep track of my collection.

Thanks,

I think make a third page.
The first two references are
RCV II# 7512
RIC IV.2# 73
so no doubt yours also has a reference.

Furthermore, there is another, with continuous lettering ...

so yes, a separate page for each, I think.

As yours has MI L ITVM as in two spaces, this other has one space,
with the L joined to the rest ...

so that is now five varieties. :°

Lastly, yours [ FIDES MI L ITVM ] may be RIC IV/2,33,73 from here ...

​then how would I go about adding that coin to numista? I'm sorry if I don't get how it works, i'm sort of a noob on Numista, also sorry for the late reply.
