Denarius Help Please
« on: June 20, 2014, 09:52:35 pm »
Hi!

I am having a little trouble.

I think Septimius Severus / Victory advancing left with wreath and branch

Reverse legend is strange to me.  Clearly AVG ending divided by her wings.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Looks like an ancient counterfeit, a fouree, a silver plated copper core, which is not only visible, but being attacked by "bronze disease." You can search the terms here on FORVM.
Yes, purporting to be a denarius of Septimius Severus.
