LEGENDS VARIETY. Specimen similar to LONDINIUM 17 except for errors in legends. The portrait is quite good, but Genius looks much worse and the lettering is terrible. It is even hard to find out which obv. legend engraver was copying: ...P F AVG or ...P I AVG. Possibly an imitative coin.

NOTES

Weight 8.2 g; diameter 27 mm. From the Robert Bernobich Collection.
