Condition: Quite lovely and appealing coin. Very-nicely centered and confidently struck. Some very light but gentle wear, and two tiny spots of corrosion - one on each side respectively. Superb portrait of this briefly-empowered successor of Julian the Great.
Lovely dark-olive patina – near-black. That which suggests possible silvering on the obverse is not, but is merely some reflected light in the photograph.
