An interesting new obverse legend for Commodus

Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 17, 2.19g, 16.89g, 180°
obv. AVT KAI - KOMOD A
        Head, laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPOL - I PROC ICT
       Athena, holding spear and shield in l. hand and in r. hand patera over burning altar
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov (engl.)
      c) not in Hristova/Jekov:
          rev. No. 8.10.4.2 corr. (writes NIKOPOLI - PROC ICT in error)

An interesting obv. legend, may be an error of the cutter because the D of COMOD looks strange too.

Septimius Severus Left-Facing Nikopolis Hermes
« Reply #292 on: November 01, 2010, 11:37:44 am »
#246

This coin was sold with a wrongly transcribed reverse legend (NIKOΠOΛΙ ΠPOC ICΤPO); even so I believe it is probably from Nikopolis ad Istrum, 3.7g, 19mm, again with ... CE CEVHPOC and the simple NIKOΠOΛΙΤΩΝ legend, though on my coin the Ω is inverted.  But has anyone seen a left-facing Septimius portrait on any small-module Nikopolis issue?  It appears not to be in Varbanov or Hristova-Jekov (also no such issue recorded for Hadrianopolis or Markianopolis or for any -polis city in Isegrim). Thanks for having a go!
