tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 06:24 am the 2nd picture looks more like a very barbarous fallen horseman than a 1 standard-2 soldiers type, the garbled legend also looks like FEL. Report this Post to the Staff
Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 06:36 am I had noticed that indeed, but because I saw two standing soldiers I thought about the gloria type. Or are there two types of die used here? Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 09:31 am The Gloria type was made from 336-342; FEL TEMP from 348-358. Rather than an error, I think this coin was simply over struck, likely unofficially since official overstrikes are usually pretty good at eliminating most of the undertype. Still one heckuva cool find! Report this Post to the Staff
