It's easy enough to look at the TRP on the coins of Verus
<VIII = hybride  :)

Lucius Verus reached TR P VIIII on rare coins, so it's TR P X or higher for him that must indicate a mule.

Yes, of course it's my mistake.
It should be <VIIII

Congrats! this one is really cool!...it could be contemporaneous with the mint of  Pius Divo edition.  So, it can be  a mule!

ARMENICUS? 
It should be ARMENIACVS

Yes, should be ARMENIACVS, so an ancient imitation rather than a mint mule.

So I suspected it was a hybrid / imitation.
I did not need to write "mule".
And so it is interesting and will land in my little collection of hybrids.
Thank you for opinion.
I will search further interesting coins by Lucius Verus.

I realize that we must apply different standards for plated coins but I always enjoyed this legend of Clodius Albinus with features of Septimius Severus and reverse of Commodus.

Hi Doug! I would only add that this reverse is like Commodus, but not entirely - if I'm not mistaken TR P XVI with Pietas/Securitas was never minted for Commodus...there was TR P XVII with Pietas/Securitas in fact... your coin is miraculously TR P XVI, not TR P XVII as it should be... so this die is not transferred, but could be cut by counterfeiters.  Weird and beautiful coin at the same time)

One of the hybrids is imitation with the Chernyakhov-culture.
I bought two more from the same workshop.
