The reverse, which should read “RESTITVTOR REIPVBLICAE,” which means “Restorer of the Republic,” is rendered incorrectly, as “STITVTOR EIPVBLICAE,” omitting some letters and jumbling others.

Really only missed two leading letters on the first and one leading letter on the second one, not bad, but makes it read “estorer of the epublic”.

I have a small book of counterfeits and it shows a counterfeit 2 dollar bill with the signature of my 3rd great grandfather, H. B. Gibson.

£sd for librum, solidus, denarius, Roman coins that are the origin of the Pound, Shilling and Pence, respectively. So the solidus was the first British Shilling.
