Another coin with this reverse die appeared in Leu Auction 7 (24 October 2020), 1913, noting:?"What exactly this reverse copies is difficult to say: perhaps it is a rendering of two emperors standing together as on Calicó 4300 (Numerian), 4342 (Carinus), 4423 (Diocletian) and Maximian 4610."? Both dies as Leu Auction 7 (24 October 2020), 1914.
