[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 4602723, member: 89514"]Maybe a second specimen will turn up some day! Septimius' bridge type, linked to above by Alegandron, was for centuries only known on asses (three rev. dies if I recall correctly), a unique aureus, and a unique but false large bronze medallion, described and illustrated by Cohen 522. But in recent years an authentic large bronze medallion has turned up (CNG E170, 2007, lot 260, now in my collection), plus two sestertii of the type, one in BM from my collection, and a second, from the same rev. die, shown recently at Leu Numismatics, who sent me a picture of the piece.[/QUOTE]
