Trajan Dupondius - SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI -Spes
« on: February 23, 2021, 03:55:23 pm »
Hi everyone!

I would like you to take a look at another coin from my collection, this Trajan dupondius. It has no patina due to some very aggressive cleaning someone did in the past, but despite this, I think the details are very nice.

I am pretty confident it's authentic (RIC-520) but further opinions would be welcome. It weighs 13,7g and has 26,5mm of diameter.

Any comments or opinions will be much appreciated   :)

Best regards,

Miguel.
