<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2543817, member: 31620&quot;]I don&#039;t usually collect the Rome mint coinage of Septimius Severus but when I spot something I find unusual I do pounce on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this to be a relatively rare coin. I seem to recall Curtis Clay stating that he knew of 8 examples from two reverse dies some time back. This data may well have changed since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was pleased to obtain a nice example of this unusual type depicting the African god Saeculum Frugiferum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius Severus Denarius</p><p>Obv:– IMP CAE L SEP-T SEV PERT AVG. Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– SAEC FRVGIF COS, Saeculum Frugiferum., radiate, standing left, holding winged caduceus and trident</p><p>Minted in Rome. A.D. 193</p><p>Reference:– BMCRE -.
