[...]S P F AVG; incuse of reverse / HILARITAS AVGG, Hilaritas standing to left, holding long branch with right hand and cornucopia with left. Cf. RIC V.2 80; cf. RIC V.4 801. 2.36gr, 19mm.
Extremely Fine. Brockage of reverse.
From a private, UK, collection in the 1980s. Property of a London, UK, antiquarian.
Brockage errors are caused when an already minted coin sticks to the coin die and impresses onto another blank that hasn't been struck yet, pressing a mirror image of the other coin into the blank. Until the late 3rd century AD brockages showing the reverse are much less common since mint workers would be more likely to see the stuck coin in the anvil die.
