An exceedingly rare quinarius of Titus with left facing portrait. This is only the second specimen I've seen in trade.
Dark toning with a neat and fine portrait. Unusually, the two 'banker's marks' are on the reverse appear to have been repaired in antiquity using the same metal originally removed.
