C·CONSIDI·NONIANI Diademed and laureate bust of Venus r.; below chin, S·C.Rev. ERVC above gate in wall surrounding mountain on which stands temple. Babelon Considia 1.Sydenham 887. Crawford 424/1.Rare. Double struck, obverse on reverse (flip strike). Very fine 200Ex CNG sale XXII, 1992, 299.This coin is the most extreme example of a Republican misstrike that I have seen. The first strike was fairly well-centered.Then the coin flipped over, and landed halfway off the obverse die, at which point it was struck again. Errors such as thisare interesting, since they allow us to see how large the dies were (RBW).67
