Likewise, considering that this reverse type was made nearly a decade before the Severans&#039; British campaign (and 5 years after her exile). I would thus assume this to be some sort of ancient imitation, rather than a mint error or an outright counterfeit. Regardless, it is of remarkable style and had me fooled until I realized the obverse spelling errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any insights or similar coins to this one?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
