ROMAN EMPIRE, Julian II, AE1 Antioch
Julian II. 360-363 AD. AE1 (8.89 gm). Antioch mint, 4th officina. DNFLCLIVLI-ANVSPFAVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / SECVRITAS REIPVB, bull standing right, two stars above; (palm) ANTD (palm). 
RIC VIII 216; LRBC 2640.
Grade: good VF, dark brown patina.
[b]BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT STYLE![/b]
I can not understand why the coin was graded as gVF only - there are no any visible traces of circulating.
The most perfect portrait of Julian which I have seen ever. If you do not agree, show me better!

Awesome portrait

Beautiful. I can only assume that whoever graded it was more used to dealing with modern coins.
Jan Terje R   [Mar 13, 2008 at 03:34 PM]
Amazing detail on the portrait. Great coin all in all. A solid five star!

Incredibly sharp coin! The actual die has a quality that is superior to many others of this type.
Vincent   [Mar 14, 2010 at 11:19 AM]
AMAZING! Does justice to Julian the Philosopher and Hellenism Greek culture!

Wow! Fantastic portrait and what a beard. Details are great but the artistic structuring - the line of the beard is fabulous. Julian II. Beard. Antioch. Brings the Misopogon to life!

magnificent portrait, especially for a Julian. beautiful coin!

I'm usually unimpressed with the artistry of 4th century Roman coins Rolling Eyes This one blows me away Shocked Maybe gVF means "Great, Very Fantastic" Laughing IMO EF+ is conservative, it could be mint state, except for the slightest wear on the high points Rolling Eyes What a beautifully preserved and crafted coin Exclamation

Ditto Steve's comments
Antonivs Protti   [Sep 04, 2011 at 12:10 AM]
