RIC-170. Obverse: Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right; Reverse: Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm frond; to left, bound captive seated left. A type that is always encountered with highly stylized dies and poor flan manufacture, this particular example features a well centered strike from dies of fine style, as well as quite a round-shaped flan. Even green-brown surfaces simply add further allure.
