Watch List notes:

Claudius. A.D. 41-54. AE sestertius (31.9 mm, 14.62 g, 6 h). Contmporary Balkans imitation. [TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP], laureate head right; c/m: DV within rectangle / SPES AVGVSTA, Spes advancing left, holding flower and lifting hem of dress. Cf. RIC 99; Cf. BMCRE 124; Pangerl 85. Fine.

The DV countermark devalues this sestertius to a dupondius and most commonly found on contemporary imitations from the Balkans region.
