Thanks to the both of you. Been seeing some nice LRB From this mint recently. Lucky to fetch this one.
Do you think it is die match to the link Not RIC plate coin I posted?

[Diederik]

They are very similar, but no match. The giveaway is the flower/branch Securitas is holding; both form and position differ.


Hope to find one too

Thanks, Q, for your examination and thoughts. I tend to agree, even looking closely at both obverses, close, but no cigar, as they say.
I've been seeing Fausta and Helena Ticinum ae3 about in cyberland for sale. Hope you fetch one.
Thanks again
