Excellent condition for the type, and not so easy to find so well preserved. It looks like it would improve with careful cleaning.

Excuse my asking, but it looks like light coming every which way, as usually is the case with recent flatbed scanners.  Is it possible that the image is from one such?  Pat L.

Pat. No scanner. Same system as used for my C.Albinus and Pompey I mentioned in other thread.

benito,

Nice!

Would you say, however, that this coin is rare in this condition?
