[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3231865, member: 31620"]Yours is a nice example of the full form COS II obverse legend (as full as it gets anyway!). Here is mine of the same type, which is in need of an updated image. [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/Sep_Sev_RIC_431.jpg[/IMG] There is another VIRTVTE AVG type to be aware of too but it is a bit scarcer. Reference:– BMCRE W404 (plate 17.12, same reverse die and quite possibly the same obverse die). RIC 431a (Rated Rare, citing RD, p 106). RSC 771a. RD contained 1 specimen. BMCRE notes that the obverse legend break is unknown due to missing middle of legend and the RD coin is noted as having the right hand of the obverse legend missing.
