Geta. As Caesar, AD 198-209. Æ As (26.5mm, 10.72 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 209. Bareheaded, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Female figure standing right, holding long scepter and drawing out fold of drapery from her breast from which coins fall; to right, two small children extending their arms above. RIC IV 150a. Dark green and red-brown patina, some roughness. VF. Rare. A very well detailed reverse for issue.

On most examples of this issue, the reverse lacks detail in the area where, on this specimen, what appear to be coins are visible. With this added detail, it appears that this coin’s reverse depicts a donative scene with the female figure spilling the coins out from the folds of her drapery which are eagerly received by the two small figures below.
