Ex Gorny & Mosch sale 175, 2009, 178.

This coin has every appearance of a Roman imperial coin except for the legends being in Greek, and of course, its size. The neatest portraits in silver are the rare provincial issues which were engraved by skilled masters at these remote mints. This is a really well executed piece of engraving work on a large flan in silver. MSG.
