Here is an exciting new reverse type:

AE26 11.5 gr. Septimius Severus Nikopolis ad Istrum Gallus

Obv: AV∙ Λ∙ CEΠ ∙ / CEVHPOC Π (HP ligature)
Laureate head right

Rev: VΠ AV ΓAΛΛOV / NIKOΠOΛI (OV ligature)
Ex: ΠPOC I ∙
Hygieia standing feeding snake from patera right

Brown patina; letters in crude style

Obverse die match to ΓAΛΛ Heracles. First example I have come across of one of these HP ligate obverse dies with a ΓAΛΛ8 reverse.

AMNG -; Varbanov (E) -; Hr/J -; New reverse type for Gallus, no other recorded Hygieia sola.

I posted this coin on the HP ligature obverse thread as well.
