Ancient Roman Imperial Coinage
COMMODUS AE SESTERTIUS
A.D. 177-192
The son of M. Aurelius and Faustina Junior
Peter Rosa Reproduction
Diameter: 31.7 mm (1.25 inch.)
This is a quality reproduction created by Peter Rosa. This coin is cast from his original 1960's mold using the same manufacturing methods he used. The coin is made from copper plated fine pewter. Each coin is then antiqued by hand, so every coin has a unique patina.
This is an exact reproduction of the original ancient sestertius. The rim is stamped with the word copy.05/16/06 at 18:19Miguel Diaz: reverse
