TRE (the letters T and R under a tilde, a cross to the left of the letter T. One globule between the letter T and the letter R, another between the letter R and the letter E. One globule below between the letters T and R , another under the letter R).



One copy preserved at the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen of Berlin, link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=2448425&viewType=detailView.

 

A round shape stands out in the middle of the letter A on the obverse, globule or blank defect? Probably more of a defect than a globule.

 

One coin seen without globule, proposed by iNumis then withdrawn.. Modern fake? Link to the sale: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=1092&lot=444.
