Hi folks
Just out of interest here is an interesting little coin of crispus. The Tov struck me as strange for a start until I realised that, of course, it was Vot the wrong way round. I wonder if there are many more like that?[/img][/img]

I have seen quite a few examples of unofficial coinage with retrograde inscriptions. Below is an example with VOT MVLT backwards. Apparently sometimes they forgot to carve the inscriptions on the die backwards.
