Libius Severus -Maybe not?
« on: June 13, 2017, 01:55:28 am »
The RCE monogram is poorly visible.
I risked and bought it. At first I was very happy.
Now I have some doubts ...

Was it described by the seller as Libius Severus?

Also, could you tell us the diameter and weight if possible?

I hope that someone can confirm for you that it is Severus III, but to me the reverse looks more like Victory on the right crowning something, or perhaps two victories facing with a wreath between them. However, I'd love to be wrong about that.

I think that you are probably right, i would like to see this coin in a better way, but it seems a Ricimer monogram.
bye

Sorry, the coin has just been sent.
Weight 0.91 g / 10 mm
The argument behind the monogram is the trace of a worn wreath on the edge, which is flat on the bottom and have no signs of inscriptions.
Here is an example of a similar better preserved wreatch.
