By the Gods. that is an excellent coin. The barely worn condition combined with a finely detailed portrait of the famously troubled but capable emperor makes it a super desirable piece.  It would be star in any ancient coin collection, so I'm suitably jealous.....

This resplendent golden Roman aureus definitely gets the five-star treatment from me. It’s what we’re all hoping to own someday as collectors and what Roman officials could only dream of receiving.
