Details

Obverse S, reverse Fr + / Zfr. So rare. So-called hollow blow or incuse, the reverse then has the same image as the front, only in mirror image. This is because the previous coin has not slipped off the stamp and thus served as a kind of stamp for the next coin. As a result, the reverse stamp could not touch the coin face, so that the obverse was punched hollow in the reverse. Identification cannot be done accurately. There are several coins (minted in Gaul) with the same obverse, Caesar - Divi F.
