Comment

A few types exist. The reverse legend of the common one (ref. Bramsen 1503) reads DEM SIEGE SEIN LORBER while its variant has SIEGER instead of SIEGE. There is also a variant whose obverse initials are IL instead of the usual L. The reverse imagery is fairly common on coins, including ancient Roman sestertii and nummi.
