Geta, 209 - c. 26 December 211 A.D.
|Geta|, |Geta,| |209| |-| |c.| |26| |December| |211| |A.D.|, On some coins of this type but with the normal MARTI VICTORI reverse legend, the final I is cramped. On at least one reverse die the final letter(s) of the reverse legend were erased and re-engraved to RI. Apparently a number of dies for this type were originally engraved ending in R, like our coin, but few coins were struck with them prior to discovery and correction.
