Photo of a coin sold the 20/11/2000 by Numismatik Lanz München, Auction 100, lot 8, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=73993, link to their website: https://www.lanz.com/. Impossible to know what surmount the banners, too much wear.

There are two obverse legend breaks: IMP CAES M DID SEV - ER IVLIAN AVG and IMP CAES M DID SE - VER IVLIAN AVG. For the reverse, there are variants with the eagle turned to the right, two eagles... The coins are classified in order: long obverse cut SEV - ER with the reverse variants: legend breaks, dots and orientation or number of eagles. Then the same with the short obverse break: SE - VER. Dots are often erased by wear, so ranking is difficult. However, I can already exclude the presence of dots when the coin is worn out, when the gap between the letters is too small to write something.

The dot between DID and SEV is almost invisible but seems present. We see it better on this coin sold by Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH & Co. KG, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=98722.
