D CL SEPT ALBINO CAE , FORT REDVCI COS II with F in REDVCI instead E. The coin is from the same die with the coin of Elmer collection. http://www.fredericweber.com/SEPTIM..._fortuna.htm Report this Post to the Staff

I have owned 4 examples of Albinus from Alexandria but none with this reverse. Mine have all bee the more common FECILITAS COS II, Felicitas standing half left, caduceus in right and scepter in left.

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 10:32 am Nice pick up of the usurper who wanted to restore the Republic. Unfortunately, he left Britannia with all of his troops, leaving the island defenseless. I have a wonderful example of a modern forgery: Always nice to have a rarity - Congrats!
