Ex SKA Bern 7, 1987, 769 and NAC 73, 2013, Student and His Mentor part II, 253 sales.

The Marc Antony & Octavian portrait coin series is rather extensive. The large head coins are much more common and not nearly as attractive, in my opinion, as these smaller head issues. This is a particularly nice example with two strong portraits of excellent style. MSG.
