Comment
Pangerl# 83:Pangerl# 90:
These two countermarks are common and were in use in the region of Moesia and Thrace.
Although the host coins are generally in very poor condition, both counterstamps are mainly found on Assarii of Augustus and Tiberius of the type with the altar of the Three Gauls.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which was a secondary marking added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin is a small letter "R" that can be seen on the reverse side of the coin, which stands for "Roma" (Rome) and indicates that the coin was issued by the Roman mint. The use of countermarks was a common practice in ancient Rome, and it helped to verify the authenticity and value of the coin.
