Note: A very rare SECVRIT PERPE variant of the popular SECVRIT PERP legend.
According to Pink's classification, this coin belongs to the rare first phase 6 Ticinum issue, characterized by the absence of insignia on the mintslip and Greek letters in the field. This particular type of legend was exclusively minted in the 3rd and 6th Mints, with coins minted in the 3rd Mint being much rarer than those from the 6th Mint.
