    Obverse: Septimius Severus, Laureate head facing right
    Inscription clockwise from bottom: SEVERVS PIVS AVG BRIT
    Reverse: Victory seated left writing on shield
    Inscription: VICTORIAE BRIT

    RIC Vol. IV, CARACALLA, Denarius, No. 231a (AD 210-211)
    Obverse: Caracalla, Laureate head facing right
    Inscription clockwise from bottom: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT
    Reverse: winged Victory advancing right holding trophy
    Inscription: VICTORIAE BRIT


    RIC Vol. IV, GETA, Denarius, No. 91 (AD 210-211)
    Obverse: Geta, Laureate head facing right
    Inscription clockwise from bottom: P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG BRIT
    Reverse: Victory standing left holding wreath and palm
    Inscription: VICTORIAE BRIT

    Please post pics of your own coins in this series.

    Oh no, I posted the wrong photos! I am trying to sort out my images folders -- I will post the proper pics tomorrow -- I am embarrassed and sorry.

    Mine is the same coin but just a bit different in style and letter spacing. I'm not familiar with the spacing on your obverse but these are out of my area of specialization so that means nothing.

    Both of the sons have BRIT obverse coins from the period but I do not have British reverses for them.
