expat Posted September 7, 2023 · Supporter Posted September 7, 2023 I was intrigued by this and spoke to my friend who is a dealer in Spain. His opinion is it was struck over another reverse. After asking the opinion of @Roman Collector he like me thinks that it was double struck. Anyway, my friend offered it for 30 Euros as I had ordered 2 other coins. They arrived this morning.

SEAR 1988 # 1530 Commemorative issue struck under Aurelius, circa 175/6 AD. Reverse struck twice with clear images of two torches and two S of SC.
