Watch List notes:

Julia Maesa (grandmother of Elagabalus) AR Denarius. Contemporary imitation, circa 218-225. IVLIA MAESA AVG, draped bust to right / PVDICITIA (retrograde), Pudicitia seated to right, raising veil and holding sceptre. For prototype, cf. RIC IV 268 (Elagabalus), BMCRE 76 (Elagabalus) and RSC 36. 2.69g, 18mm, 6h.

Very Fine.

Ex Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Online Auction 251, 15 October 2017, lot 5016.

The forger responsible for this denarius evidently forgot to engrave the reverse die backwards, resulting in a retrograde reverse.
