Sorry! I said: I think it is a filled die on the letter „I”, so is not quite a misspelling :)
Thats all :)

Hello everyone.

This As of Domitian  (RIC 500) is in my collection from a long time, but I ain't been aware so far of its legend error.

Today I decided to take some new picture and there it is!

The obverse legend has GEM instead of GERM.

It's an already known engraver's error, since RIC mentions it for two coins of the same issue: # 489 (IOVI CONSERV note 47) and # 493 (MONETA note 49). There are no pictures in RIC, so I don't know if my coin is from the same die.

Kind regards

Alberto

I do also have an interesting Legend error on this Hadrian Sestertius.
Instead of DISCIPLINA the engraver engraved DISCIPVLINA in the exergue.

 OV: Draped bust with bare head to right.
 Leg: HADRIANVS AVG COS III PP
 RV: Hadrianus togate with scroll walking to right, behind him centurion and three Standartbearers.
 Leg: - / S C
 Ex: DISCIPVLINA AVG / in two lines

Strack 657-8 registers DISCIPVLINA not as an error, but simply as a correct alternate spelling.

He lists that spelling with Hadrian, officer, and 3 soldies in Berlin and Milan; ditto but 4 soldiers, in Hollschek Coll., Vienna.

Like I said earlier in the thread, the Britannicus appears to be heavily tooled, unfortunately.

Lars
Yes, you're right but you haven't chance to buy a very cheap Britannicus very often especially in Czech Republic. I think only Britannicus' head is tooled. Do you think legend is also tooled? Thanks.
