Rx: IMP XIII in exergue, Sow standing l. with two piglets. This type was meant to be struck dated IMP XIX for Vespasian but IMP XIII for Titus; here however an IMP XIII die of Titus was mistakenly coupled with an obverse die of Vespasian. The reverse type normally showed three piglets on the ground below the sow, but on this die one of the piglets was left out. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Gorny & Mosch 152, 9 Oct. 2006, 2086..
