<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 24661028, member: 110226&quot;]I was looking for another ancient in the collection that does not include a lyre.&nbsp; No luck.&nbsp; So, here&#039;s an overstrike done by our old friend Postumus, who did this extensively with his double sestertii.&nbsp; This coin was lot 1217, Roma E-Sale 58, way back in 2019.</p><p><br /></p><p>The overstrike is most pronounced on the obverse, with some of the larger letters of the under-coin still present.&nbsp; The original coin might have been a sestertius minted in Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>Postumus Æ Double Sestertius. Colonia Agrippinensis, circa AD 264-265. IMP C M CAS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG (sic!), radiate and draped bust right / HERC [PACI]FERO, Hercules standing left, holding branch, club and lion skin; S-C across fields. Bastien 145; RIC 135. 24.63g, 33mm, 1h.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1572077[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, any coin of a secessionist empire/kingdom, rebel or pretender to a throne.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
