This caught my eye for the counterstamp. The coin itself, of Galba, is very worn, but as he is an Emperor that wasn´t in my collection and all in cost less than 50 Euros, I couldn´t resist. If anybody knows more about the counterstamp and the letters below the owl, your input will be gladly received. EDIT: @Victor_Clark kindly furnished me with reference to the counterstamp.
