Watch List notes:

Septimius Severus; 193-211 AD, Syrian Mint, 194 AD, Denarius, 3.75g. Barry P. Murphy Severan Denarii website, no. 280 (this coin). Obv: [IMP CA]E L SEP SE - V PERT AVG COS II Head laureate r. Rx: LIBER - AL AVG COC (sic) Liberalitas standing l. holding coin counter and cornucopia. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Barry P. Murphy Severan Denarii collection, website no. 280. Overweight specimen. Not in the standard catalogues with COC added to LIBERAL AVG in the reverse legend, an interesting variant since it proves that the Eastern mint must have copied its Liberalitas type from the Roman denarii of 193 with legend LIBERAL AVG COS, though the engraver here mistakenly wrote COC instead of COS, with a Greek sigma replacing the called-for Latin S. A second example of this denarius, struck from the same dies, was in the Members' Auction of Forvm Ancient Coins in April 2014. . Fine (225)
