A nice example of 2nd Century denarius, neither particularly scarce nor especially common. There is a bit of metal overlap at 4:00 that looks like plating but is not. This interesting aspect of this issue is that one sub-group were produced with the XVI monogram (RRC 228/1 types) and the nearly identical sub-group carries the X monogram.
