    Three coins of Marcianopolis struck with the same obverse die but with different reverse types entirely:

    I don't have any such examples within my own collection but @Ancient Aussie has a fantastic architectural reverse with the same obverse die as my coin:

    My personal best is six but I believe I have seen thirteen different from a different obverse of Emesa. I pretty much stopped looking for these since they have become popular and more costly.
