This coin shows no overstrike remnants. It is questionable whether some virgin blanks were struck. This obverse die was used to overstrike a Septimius Severus coin with the ORIENS AVGG reverse. Here is this coin sold on 09/15/2003 by UBS Gold & Numismatics, Auction 57, lot 442, link to the coin: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=142463. Another coin using the same obverse die and associated with the reverse ORIENS AVGG (impossible to know who is the emperor present on the original coin, on the reverse we read D? SV ..). Here is the coin, classified AYC #8 ov?, RIC 6:

To finish, I noted that this obverse dier was also used to overstrike a Caracalla coin with the reverse IOVI CONSERVATORI (described VIC O or VICO by several books, it is in my opinion a break of legend IOVI C - ONSERVATORI). The coin is preserved at the Kunsthistorische museum de Vienne, INV. NR. Münzkabinett, RÖ 20745, lien vers la monnaie: https://www.khm.at/objektdb/detail/1035155/. This coin is the AYC #5 ov Car, RIC 4.
