SOLD $130
(TITUS), from Moesia & Thrace, period of Titus (A.D. 79-81), (9.642 grams), AE 27 with countermark of TI.C.AE within rectangle, another AVG countermark in rectangle, another countermark of helmet, rev. with capricorn countermark in square, (Martini, Nom.6, Pangerl Collection of Countermarked Imperial coins type 83, 90, 98 and 94 reverse). Countermarks very fine/fine, host coin poor.
Martini notes the letters and helmet are linked together and appears as an overtype on the lettered countermarks and is found according to Martini almost exclusively in the Ephesus area. The capricorn countermark is an uncertain identification. Martini places the issue of this type to the period of Vespasian and Titus. It was in a Thrace-Moesia area that this countermark was applied to circulating worn coinage. The Pangerl collection contained four examples of these countermarks with most issues of similar weight.
