Yes, some of these were minted. This example is from the time when Severus was Caesar in the tetrarchy, Siscia mint. Obverse: SEVERVS NOB C, Laureate head right Reverse: GENIO POPVLI ROMANI, Genius Standing left, modius on head, naked except for chamlys over left shoulder, holding patera and cornucopia. 19mm, approximately 3 gm, A.D. 305-306 Reference: RIC VI, Siscia 171a Actually there is no exact match for this type at Wildwinds, as their quarter follis example bears the legend FL VAL SEVERVS.
