"an almost inverted overstrike over another die of the same type: the legend in exergue from the first strike, with slightly different shapes and positioning of the two lines of letters of the legend, is visible almost upside down at the upper right. A most unusual Republican instance of a reverse struck twice with two different but contemporaneous reverse dies, a phenomenon that is considerably commoner on Roman imperial sestertii and middle bronzes, and that suggests, as Colin Kraay deduced in conversation with C. Clay c. 1972, that those two reverse dies were being applied alternately and at rapid tempo at the same anvil die, occasionally producing such overstrikes when the completed coin was not removed promptly enough from the obverse die. Excellent evidence for an otherwise unsuspected coin production technique, and very rarely observed on Republican denarii"
