<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1845944, member: 21445&quot;]Recently got this coin cause I was in the market for an Emesa severus just to have and during my online research I realized the coin was special due to an engravers error on the reverse. My hunch was right when I found Martins write up of the same type as his. I got the error a few minutes before it ended &amp; I was lucky to be the only bidder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is a perfect reverse where his was off center.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is my coin and attribution is from his with weight &amp; such different for mine.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Read the description note.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Not bad for $20 huh?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised Doug &amp; Martin both missed this.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://s22.postimg.org/4dwi0uw29/sevem1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– BONI EVENTVS, Spes standing holding flower and lifting skirt</p><p>Minted in Emesa, A.D. 194 - 195</p><p>References:– BMCRE -, RIC -, RSC -</p><p>Die Axis- 180</p><p>Weight 3.3g</p><p><br /></p><p>A mix up with the reverse legend and reverse type. The reverse legend should match with the Fides type instead of Spes. Bartosz Awianowicz has the opposite error with a BONA SPES reverse legend and a Fides reverse type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
