<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 5389550, member: 116315&quot;]After a considerable delay I have finally received the coin, and I think it looks pretty good, despite the deposits on the reverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231537[/ATTACH]</p><p>Am I the only one who finds the size and the placement of the second &quot;G&quot; in the reverse a little bit strange? Could it be that the reverse legend started out as a standard &quot;AEQVITAS AVG&quot; and that the engraver chose to add a second &quot;G&quot; because he had left too much empty space at the end? That could explain why this type is so rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also find it interesting that there&#039;s at least one other coin made with the same obverse die but a different reverse one. This example was sold by Savoca in 2017:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231542[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
