Aphrodite looks particularly fetching with her slightly tilted head; I can't say I have seen many facing portraits where the figure is striking a pose (or casting a seducing gaze). It is a lovely coin hands down!!

Very nice and unusual. Haven't seen this one myself with the two busts facing.

You should see a better preserved version of it. It's a shame Dionysos' head is so weak.
