<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 8000115, member: 10613&quot;]Here&#039;s an unofficial issue that pairs an VRBS ROMA with a Constantinopolis reverse. The ROMA obverse should be paired with a wolf and twins reverse and the Victory on prow reverse should have a CONSTANTINOPOLIS obverse. The style is otherwise pretty good. I guess somebody didn&#039;t get the memo about pairing dies correctly...or nobody cared; as these unofficial hybrids turn up fairly often.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387907[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>VRBS ROMA/ Constantinopolis</p><p>Circa A.D. 330-331</p><p>16mm&nbsp; &nbsp; 1.9g</p><p>Obv.
