<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3340159, member: 84744"]I originally thought it was a reject SOLI INVICTO rescued from the bin and restruck with ORIENS AVG dies. That could be it, I suppose, but then you'd expect some evidence of overstrike on the obverse, which I don't see. So maybe it was a case where two flans stuck together, and one of them received the SOLI INVICTO reverse and a blank obverse. That was then restruck with a fresh obverse and ORIENS AVG reverse? The two reverse types can be very similar so it looks like a double strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
