Here is an exciting new die combo:

AE 27 Plautilla Nikopolis ad Istrum Gallus

Ob: ΦOVΛ ΠΛ - AVTIΛΛA CE
Draped bust right
Rev: VΠ AVP ΓAΛΛOV NIKOΠO
Ex: ΠPOC I

three story city-gate

cf. rev. Hr/J 8.14.46.4 p. 127, which is a different die from 8.18.46.9. I never noticed that before! Interesting that two different dies of this rare type were made. So Plautilla paired with the rev. die of Sept. Sev. not Caracalla.
