Goodevening board, i hope i find you all well on this day of Halloween. Of all days we had our big scandinavian Coin Fair today, i do think i saw a courple of ghost and the odd vampires around all the tables.  ;D Well there where no candy, but i did get something i have been wishing for a long time. My first Julius Caesar coin.  :)

I do have one question, is it Crawford 468/1. Sydenham 1014. The seller was not sure.
Thank you for your time and hope you like the coin. :)
Cheers Kim

Nice coin. And if you hand it to someone who knows nothing they still might guess who issued it. :)

Congratulations,  Kim. A nice coin to have.  Your references are correct.  (There is a similar coin with head left, male and female also switched, and a few other differences on both obverse and reverse, which is Cr 486/2).
