Shield decorated with emperor riding on horse with soldiers visible in background (it is difficult to determine whether there is an adventvs or virtvs scene depicted on the shield)
Virtually as struck and with full original silvering!
The only example of this exact type known to me! Extremely rare variant, possibly unique!
