Obv/SEVERVS AVG PART MAX, laureate head of Septimius r.
Rev/RESTITVTOR VRBIS, Septimius, in military dress, standing l., sacrificing with patera over tripod and holding inverted spear.
Very nice! This is a reverse type I have wanted to add to my collection for quite some time, ever since I saw it and heard the story behind it. Also like Noah said, the portrayal of Septimius Severus on the back is very nicely done, and actually resembles him well, with the beard and all.... on alot of these and other coins, the portrayal of the Emperor standing on the reverse often bears little resemblance to the Emperor himself.
