die match to Victor's barbarous imitation of a votive follis

Attached is my coin which is an exact (obverse and reverse) die match to Victor's coin currently in his shop. I would only attribute it to Crispus, because of VOT X in wreath.

Best, Mihail

That is fantastic. The obverse does look like a die match, but the reverse is not. There are a few differences, notice the V of VOT is slanted on mine, the exergues are a little different, the last three letters on the reverse for both are NNN and then the letter in front on mine is a T while yours looks like a C.

You are right! After identifying the obverse as 'my coin' I assumed the reverse must be from the same die as well given that it is a barbarous coin. But then they might have alternating the reverse dies like in official mints?

If the reverse die is the one struck in the minting process, it will wear out quicker than the obverse, so you might see the same obverse with several different reverses.
