Simpulum, around TIBEPIOY ΚΑΙCAPOC L Iς//A bushel (modius) filled with three corn ears, around IOYΛΙΑ ΚΑΙCAPOC (Julia [= Livia, the mother/wife] of Tiberius/of Augustus?). Hendin no. 1341b; Kokkinos 100 fig. 21; Meshorer, Treasury 258 no. 331b (this coin).

Very interesting and rare mis-strike. Fine

Overbeck – Meshorer no. 229.

The coin was struck twice and was turned over between the strikes, hence the reverse design appears on both sides.
