Sometimes you see something and just have to have it, and blow the expense!

Very nice example of that coin.  This coin type is almost a 'must have' for all collectors of Roman ancients because of the historical value. Van Meter calls it the last 'pagan' coin issue.  Considering the fact that Julian was the last pagan emperor, it likely is.  I have one quite similar in terms of grade but with a nice emerald green patina.
Yours is very nice also.  Thanks for showing us.

Having had it in hand, the coin blew me away. A dark black semi-gloss patina too!
