The Roman Empire

Tetradrachm, Laodicaea ad Mare Syriae 208-209, AR 13.28 g. AVT KAI – CEOVHPOC – CE Laureate and draped bust r. Rev. ΔΗΜΑΡΧ Ε Ξ VΠΑΤΟC TO Γ Eagle with wreath in its beak, standing, facing with spread wings and head l.; between its legs, star. Bellinger 52 and pl. V, 4. Prieur 1149.
Extremely fine

It is in my view that provincial portraits on an eastern tetradrachm, such as this one, rival even the issues of the Roman mint. AMP.
