Obv.: CARAVSIVS ET FRATRES SVI, jugate, radiate & cuirassed busts of Maximianus, Diocletian & Carausius left Rev.:PAX A-VGGG, Pax standing left, holding olive-branch & vertical scepter; S P/C. Mint Camulodunum. (Struck circa 292-293 AD)
I understand your point ROMA. I was speaking from my perspective of course. This is a magnificent coin indeed. I never said it was silly for someone with means to purchase it; just that I would have to be nuts to do it myself...
Agreed, although i suppose i could forget finishing college and just buy a coin like this instead. And who rated this coin less than a 5!! Show me a better one will ya!?
Well, the A of PAX and the field mark S are both a little weak....... only joking, who ever posted less than five is just green - this is a marvellous coin.
A true artist created this masterpiece, and it will forever remain a stunning contribution to numismatic history and the world. Glorious rendering and amazing piece of art.
The only explanation for a vote less than 5 is that those voting less do not know ancient Romans well and deducted for minor imperfections that actually give this beauty character...or they are simply jealous!
Superbly superb museum piece. One of the best of the BOT. Still cannot understand how a rating of only 4.7 is at all possible for such a splendid specimen...
And who rated this coin less than a 5!! Show me a better one will ya!?
BEST COIN EVER!
