Joe Sermarini:
Septimius Severus, 9 April 193 - 4 February 211 A.D., Barbaric Imitative

Tribal peoples outside the Empire struck coinage imitative of Roman types beginning in the second century B.C. and continued to strike imitative types even after the Western Empire ceased to exist. Several official issues used this reverse type, but the style is exotic and crude. These legends were never used on any official issues.

RS90412. Silver denarius, for possible prototype: cf. RIC IV 497a, RSC III 642 (Roman official, Laodicea ad Mare mint, 198 A.D.), VF, double struck, reverse off center, unofficial mint, weight 2.603g, maximum diameter 18.1mm, die axis 180o, obverse [...] CAE L SEP SEV PERP IWC (or similar, blundered), laureate head right; reverse [...]TAS AVG P P (blundered, S reversed), Salus seated left, with patera in her right hand feeding snake rising from altar at her feet, cornucopia in left; $120.00

The gold colour on this CVNO (Cunobelin) coin is simply stunning. Please kindly share if more are discovered.
