countermark การใช้

Coins minted with the countermark VAR, distributed by Varus, also support the identification of the site.
Furthermore, the new countermark that went unrecorded is apparently from 52 / 53 CE and the Greek letters in it do not support a date of 9 / 8 BCE, as the other countermarks.
A counterstamp is applied by a die, and by machine to an existing coin, while a countermark is punched onto the coin, mostly by hand, using a punch and a hammer or a primitive hand-operated machine.
