Uncertain host; countermark: TI.C.A (crude and retrograde)
Uncertain host; countermark: cf. Pangerl 89 Fine. Red-brown patina. Boldly applied countermark. Some trace roughness. These countermarks are very crude and appear to be retrograde, which means they are almost certainly unofficial. In addition, the host coin (which for the TI.C.A countermark is usually an as of Augustus) is a bit lightweight.
