[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 7949826, member: 91820"][ATTACH=full]1377187[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1377188[/ATTACH] Size: 28 mm, Weight: 15.61 grams This is an addendum to my last article re: the above and includes this photograph of what is clearly a sestertius of Septimius Severus, and with what is clearly an image of Pax on the reverse.

Or a bizarrely manufactured phony - it sure looks like something was added to the surface of the coin. I have looked in every kind of light and can't make out an inscription on the reverse - BUT - it isn't easy to see anything on the obverse. I compared it with the two PAX type on ACSEARCH and not a match. Next are other databases. Next will be a rare As of Septimius with a platform scene - a photograph of this worn, but interesting coin was sent by a friend and it is worth seeing.[/QUOTE]
