Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem) under Elagabalus, bronze struck year 221 C.E. in Jerusalem (Meshorer Aelia 145) 4.03 g.
An important coin type depicting Aquilia Severa, 2nd and 4th wife of Elagabalus. This piece is indeed a brockage*, a strike error showing on one side the negative of the other one. This coin is extremely rare, the brockage makes it unique.
* Brockage errors are caused when an already minted coin sticks to the coin die and impresses onto another coin that hasn't been struck yet, pressing a mirror image of the other coin into the blank coin
Est.: 1,000-1,200
