<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2658001, member: 19463"]When it comes to fourrees, pretty much anything goes. I remain of the opinion that some, at least, makers wanted to be able to tell their work from the good stuff so they could distance themselves from the bad coins. This one is FORTVNA PR which is a normal Nerva type and the obverse legend is Nerva. To me, the portrait was done by someone who had seen Trajan or Domitian but not Nerva. I like fourrees that have unofficial style which one could make a case for being better executed than the official dies. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]589157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
