Hi board,
I couldn't find this coin, nor the emission, in RIC, or in the online RIC. Could this be a hitherto unknown emission or am I missing something?

Severina, wife of Aurelian AD 270-275, AE Antoninianus (23 mm, 4.08 g) Rome
SEVERINA AVG; draped bust r., wearing diadem, set on crecent
CONCORDIAE MILITVM; XXT in exergue; crescent-B across field; Concordia Militum standing left, holding two standards
RIC – (Cf. RIC 4 with R in l. field)

Regards
Gert

Hello,

Indeed, this mintmark is not listed in Temp-RIC V/II online
It looks like Rome mint style, and the closest is with   R/B//XXI mintmark:

This coin could be an engraver's error.

This coin is now in my possession (thank you, Gert!) and I am very curious...
I read the exergue as XXI rather than XXT.

Let's keep searching...

Best regards,
Jeroen.
