Mint State; a wonderful portrait. Very rare, and in terms of preservation the finest to be offered at auction in the past two decades.
From the Vogelberg Collection (Switzerland), formed c. 1960-1985.
This rare type has long been recognised to depict Fulvia, the aristocratic and politically ambitious wife of Marc Antony. She was the first non-mythological Roman woman to ever appear on a Roman coin.
