Extra nice portrait with silvering to boot! Really like his coins with his long neck beard flowing.
Don't have too many of him in my collection and just one example of Florian, his brother.  ;DThey make a nice pair.
Thanks for showing

A nice find. Your filename shows you have it logged as CONSERVATOR MILITVM but your description above does not correspond.

 Hi Martin,

Thank you for bringing to my attention the error...
It was my mistake, because I have the CONSERVAT MILIT coin it is known..
and when I find the new one I mixed that... ::) :-\,

but now it is OK.. ;) :) +++

 Best regards.
