<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2499738, member: 31620&quot;]Many thanks to Ancient Aussie who generously agreed to part with this one and it is now part of my specialist collection of this odd series.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SE-V PERT AVG II C, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– BONI EVENTVS, Fides (Bonus Eventus) standing left holding basket of fruits in right hand, grain ears in left</p><p>Minted in Emesa. A.D. 194 - 195</p><p>Reference:– BMCRE -. RIC IV -. RSC -. </p><p><br /></p><p>The flat area on the head aligns with the flat area on the legs on the reverse. A classic flat strike, where there wasn&#039;t enough silver to fill the die at this point on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064sp_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that it has arrived I can see that it is a double die match to another example in my collection. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064pd_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
