Lyon mint, 1st officina, ca. AD 332
VRBS ROMA, Helmeted Roma left
Anepigraph, She wolf suckling twins Remus and Romulus, two stars in field, Crescent dot PLG at exergue
2.86 gr
Ref : Bastien # 221, RIC # 257
Note :Die clash on the reverse, the remains of ROMA backwards and the rear of Roma's helmet being visible
Probably not a restruck brockage, but the result of die clashing, which permanently damaged the reverse die. Proof: sometimes identical damage can be found on more than one specimen, as I think Doug Smith has shown us.
