PONTIUS PILATE AE PRUTAH, PREFECT UNDER TIBERIUS

Hendin 6370var, (GBC5 1341v), TJC 331v, Very Fine, 16.8mm, 2.45 grams

Obverse: TIBEPIOY KAICAPOC LIC (of Tiberius Caesar, year 16 = 29/30 C.E.) around simpulum (ladle)

Reverse: IOY^IA KAICAPOC (Julia the Queen) around three bound ears of grain, the outer ones droop

Very strange and INTERESTING coin; apparently a 180 degree flip double strike, and the entire Tiberius name is still clear!
