ANCIENTS - Septimius Severus - Emesa - Type mix

I have recently obtained the following coin that I thought worthy of sharing.

Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV - PERT AVG COS II, laureate head right
Rev:– [FORTVN R]EDVC, Aequitas/Moneta standing left, holding scales in right hand, cornucopiae in left
Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194-195
Reference:– BMCRE -. RIC -. RSC -

This coin mixes the FORTVNA REDVC legend with the Aequitas/Moneta reverse type. This reverse legend appears with a whole mix of types but I haven't seen many with this mix.



I can hear you all saying.... "Oh no, he's off again with another of the Sept. Sev. coins...." but it is coins like this that keep me going.

Sep-Sev states "Oh no, he's off again with another of the Sept. Sev. coins...."
