Martini notes the letters which he believes to mean TI(tus?) C(aesar) A(ugustus) and AVG(ustus). He notes these issues as struck generally on issues of Augustus as is this issue with SC in centre. Martini places the issue of this type to the period of Vespasian and Titus. It was in a Thrace-Moesia area that these countermark were applied to circulating worn coinage.
