Orbiana

  • Wife of: Severus Alexander.

 

Group 1: Group 1: The legends and the portrait correspond to an existing official type.

Group 2: A small mistake like a spear instead of a scepter. The rest of the coin perfectly follows the official coin. Or depreciated coin, but leaving parts showing that the coin seems to have the legends and the portrait corresponding to an existing official type.

Group 3: The existing official type is well imitated but contains one or more errors of legend, representation or degenerate style (excluding hybrid).

Group 4: The coin is a hybrid of two official types (obverse / reverse) and may also include legend errors. Or, the coin is known in another module or metal.
