A great addition to your Gallery!  The Portrait is very nice for Crispus, and the patina is beautiful! Congrats to you.

Thank you Jochen, Potator, Roland, and the_Apostate!  I am happy with this one.  I did own a Crispus before, but it was of poor quality.  Actually, the portrait of the emperor looked like it had fur on its face...sorta like Chewbacca! ;D  I decided to purchase for myself a quality Crispus.  This one fits my collection nicely.  I appreciate the wonderful comments.
