<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 5291932, member: 31620"]I bought this coin recently. The off-centre strike on the obverse put everyone else off this eastern Spes meaning that I bought it for a fraction of what an eastern Spes retails for. But as some of you will know, I specialise in some of the sub-series in this series and have seen this die before...... I can confirm my reading of the obverse die through obverse die matches in my collection and it comes from a series of coins that have shortened variations of the titles in the obverse legend when compared to the normal issue which would read "IMP CAE L SEP SEV PERT AVG COS II". I have 9 different obverse die variations in this sub-series and this takes me reverse count from this obverse die to 3.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Septimius Severus denarius</b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CA L SEP SEV PER AVG COS II, laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– BONA SPES, Spes standing holding flower and lifting skirt</p><p>Minted in Emesa.
