Notes:     The only millenium animal type normally associated with Otacilia Severa is the Hippo, but these examples with the European moose are known to exist, although perhaps only five specimens are now known. It is generally accepted that these are mint errors struck with a reverse die intended for use on coins of her son, Philip II.
