Septimius Severus, COS II, Obv. Legend errors
« on: January 29, 2016, 10:54:23 am »
I have recently obtained a couple of obverse legend errors from the COS II series of Septimius Severus that I thought worthy of sharing.

Septimius Severus denarius

Obv:– IMP CAE L SPE (sic) SEV - PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right
Rev:– TR P III IMP V COS II, captive seated right with peaked cap, hands bound behind, quiver and shields behind, curved sword in ex
Minted in Emesa. A.D. 195
Reference:– cf. RIC 432 . cf RSC 660.

I had seen one of these SPE for SEV errors elsewhere last year.



Septimius Severus denarius

Obv:– IMP CAE L SP(sic) SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right
Rev:– INVICTO IMP, Trophy with captured arms below
Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194 – A.D. 195
Reference:– cf. RIC 389. cf, RSC 232.

An obverse die match to the SPE for SEV captive coin above but this time with a Moneta reverse.

Septimius Severus denarius
Obv:– IMP CAE L SPE (sic) SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right
Rev:– M-ONET AVG, Moneta standing left, holding scales in right hand, cornucopiae in left
Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194 - 195
