SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS. 193-211 AD. AR Denarius (2.96 gm). Barbarous imitation (of Laodicea?). Laureate bust right / MONET AV, Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. Cf. RIC IV 484a (figure of Moneta); RSC 332. Good VF. ($100)

An interesting imitation combining MONET AV with a Victory type. An example of a counterfeiter's humor?
