Photo of a coin sold the 03/01/2012 by Classical Numismatic Group, Triton XV, lot 1551, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1175468, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/.

''ov?'' in the reference: AYC #6 ov?, means that this coin is overstruck on a coin undetermined emperor. ''ov'' for overstruck. I have noted two other copies whose original coin is impossible to identify. The first coin was sold on 05/12/2015 by Auktionshaus H.D. GmbH, Auction 93, lot 673, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1453339. The second coin was sold the 09/03/2015 by Gorny & Mosch Giessener Münzhandlung, Auction 228, lot 679, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2375867. These coins share the same dies as the example shown here.

I assigned n°5 of RIC 5B for this coin because the legends correspond to this type. The n° 5 noted a “purse?” in the place of the pileus. See comment of AYC #6 ov Max I. Anyway I attribute the numbers of RIC according to the legends. For example, RIC 5 is given for an overstruck denarius of Maximinus I Thrax. I have classified coins under this number because they use the same legends for Regalianus, even if they are overstruck on other emperors.
