I have only three records for this issue: two coins are in private collection and the third one was sold by Peus in 1998 (auction 357)
I would really appreciate if someone who have the auction catalogue could attach here the picture.

All the best,
Nicola

VBERTAS - the same misspelling Postumus has on most of his Uberitas coins. Is there any significance to it that anyone knows of?
