Obv.: SEVERVS - [PIVS AVG BRIT] , laureate head of Septimius Severus right.
Rev.: [VICT BRIT P M T]R P XIX - C[OS III P P] / S - C , Victory standing right, holding vexilium in both hands, on each side of her a seated captive.

In 208 AD. Septimius Severus together with the entire imperial family (his wife Julia Domna and their sons Caracalla and Geta) set out for Britain where the situation on the northern frontier demanded urgent attention. He was to spend the last two and a half years of his life in the island province and was destined never to return to Rome. Together with his elder son, the co-emperor Caracalla, he campaigned vigorously beyond the imperial frontier, penetrating far into Scotland. The line of their marching-camps can still be detected today by aerial photography. Severus also restored Hadrian's Wall, the northern frontier of the province, which was in serious need of renovation now that more than eighty years had elapsed since its original construction. Little is known of the success of these military operations, though they were to bring peace to the area for the remainder of the third century and an extensive issue of coinage in all metals was produced to commemorate the British victory.
Das Stück feiert den Sieg über die Briten. Das Stück ist selten, da es nur zwischen dem 10. Dezember 210, dem Beginn der 19. Tribunicia potestas des Kaisers, und dem Februar 211 (Septimius Severus starb im Alter von 65 Jahren am 4. Februar 211 in Eburacum, also York) geprägt wurde.
