Draped bust facing right Reverse: CONCO.RDIA. SECOND HALF OF THE WORD MIRROR-WRITTEN, LETTERS REVERSED ALSO VERTICALLY. Isis facing right, rudder on left, foot on prow (non-existent feature), nursing infant Horus. The image does not correspond to the legend, nor can it be explained away by double-strike techniques.WHAT DOES THIS COIN REVEAL?It provides an unusual insight into the ways coinage was struck. It opens up the possibility that the malleatory equipment was analogous to today's commercially available sets to produce self-made stamps: this is apparent in that only a part of the reverse legend is not only vertically reversed, but each of the letters were horizontally misplaced in a mirror-like manner.This coin deserves to be investigated in order to reconstruct the devices that were misplaced for the striking. It is a unique and highly significant specimen.PLEASE PAY WITHIN A WEEK OF WINNING THIS AUCTION.
