Septimius Severus, with Geta as Caesar. AD 193-211. AV Aureus (19mm, 5.97 g, 12h). Contemporary Indian imitation. IM ANTONI NVS AVG, laureate head left of Septimius Severus / SEPT V[?] GETA CAES PO, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right of Geta. Unpublished in the standard references. VF, holed and plugged, scuffed on high points of reverse.
Ex Archer M. Huntington Collection (HSA 1001.1.22237).
The obverse/reverse combination (head of Septimius / bust of Geta) does not exist on official issues. The obverse legend (IM ANTONINVS AVG) would be more appropriate for Caracalla, but the portrait is surely meant to be Septimius Severus.
