Beautiful coin, and I go like the portrait. I love seeing the bust here for comparison-it shows you what the die engravers had to work with with poor Alex. I mean, he looks like a hipster Barista! The coin engravers did their very best to make him look imperial, and this coin is a good effort on their part.
