<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 4689589, member: 85693&quot;]Interesting and informative post.&nbsp; I do not have a crocodile, alas, but I do have two examples of the PP countermark as mentioned in the OP. </p><p><br /></p><p>That these appeared on the dupondii of Nemausus is news to me - so the examples below might be off-topic?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The two I have are on as/dupondius hosts (or imitatives).&nbsp; Compared to the abundant AVG countermark types, the PP seems to be somewhat scarcer, though not rare, I think. From what little information I could find, these PP&#039;s are from Pannonia.&nbsp; Again, not sure that would apply to the Nemausus dupondii.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1153218[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Augustus&nbsp; Æ As / Dupondius <b>Imperial Moneyer with </b></b></p><p><b>Pannonia c/m (1st C.
