ENGRAVER'S ERROR. Specimen similar to TRIER 430 except for CEASARVM in rev. legend instead of CAESARVM. Apparently an engraver's error on an ancient imitation. Note, however, that nearly all examples of TRIER 430 (which is an obvious hybrid) could be regarded as ancient imitations.

NOTES

Weight 2.90 g; diameter 19 mm. Coin sold on eBay in March 2018 for GBP 35.
