I bought the attached coin as a cleaning project as not too much
had been damaged by the crude way of cleaning.
Cataloguing the coin, I found out that there are variants in the way the information of the
reverse is presented.
BMC 1925 gives: SA-LVS -
AVG COS IIII,
S - CRIC 906 is not clear as they give:
SALVS AVG.COS.IIII S.C.
Strack gives two variants one like
BMC and the other with
COS IIII in the
exergue (1084-1085).
My specimen has SC in the
exergue and I was thrilled that it would be a very special coin, when I found out that in
AcSearch a similar coin is depicted sold here from
Forum. I have however not been able to find more examples, so I think the variant with SC
in ex is rather
scarce.
In a few weeks' or months' time I shall present the cleaned coin.
