Martini notes the letters which he believes for the first three and last two coins to mean TI(tus?) or T(itus) C(aesar) A(ugustus) and CCR an uncertain meaning. He notes these issues as struck generally on issues of Augustus as is this issue with SC in centre. Martini places the issue of these coin types to the period of Vespasian and Titus. It was in the Thrace-Moesia area that these countermarks were applied to circulating worn coinage.
