<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 5379207, member: 14873&quot;]This much worn iconic coin was issued by Septimius Severus to celebrate and commemorate his Victory over Britain. This coin has obvious condition problems. I have not seen one in this series available in VF/EF condition at a price I want to pay recently - they have become quite pricey (and hard to come by).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/e9cc7e54-a8d7-4a84-b001-7a878d3d64b3-jpeg.1143770/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Septimius Severus, Sestertius, RIC IV, Rome No. 796, AD 210</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse depiction: Laureate bust of Septimius Severus facing right</p><p>Obverse Inscription: L SEPT SEVERVS PIVS AVG</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse depiction: Two Victories, winged, draped, standing left and right, facing each other and fixing a shield to a palm tree, at the foot of which are two seated British captives.</p><p>Reverse Inscription: P M TR P XVIII COS III P P - S C in exergue</p><p><br /></p><p>I love this coin, despite it obvious condition problems. I hope someone will post a pic of one in better condition, maybe RIC No. 818 which is the same as this except it has VICTORIAE BRITANNICAE as the Reverse legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
