I am going to bore you all now with some of the minutiae of my speciality..... The "Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm" type is common enough with two entries allocated in RIC based upon whether the obverse legend is PERTE (RIC 461a) or PERET (RIC 461b). There are sub-variations that appeal to a specialist like myself with regards to how the obverse legend breaks e.g. the normal P-ERET and P-ERTE vs the less common PE-RET and PE-RTE or IMP II vs IMP I-I vs IMP - II.

I have just obtained a new minor variation where the engraver has missed an R on the reverse leading to VICTO AVG. Nothing earth shattering but adds to the range to possibilities in an eventual die study. Here is my newest coin:- Obv:– L SEPT SEV P-ERET AVG IMP I - I, laureate head right Rev:– VICT-O (sic) A-VG, Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 194-5 Reference:– BMCRE - (cf 436 which is PERET and IMP I-I with VICTOR).

There are a couple of these in the British Museum collection. There is also a "Victory walking right, holding wreath in left hand, trophy in right" type.
