Ex Sincona sale 17, 2014, 107.
This coin is an extremely interesting hybrid of Crawford 452/2 (reverse) and 452/4-5 (obverse). Crawford describes the obverses of these coins in the same way, however, in our opinion this is too simplistic, given the differences between the two female heads (Clementia?). Not only is the style of Crawford 452/4-5 more delicate and refined than the 452/2 coin, but more importantly the design of the hair in the chignons are completely different. In Crawford 452/4-5 the hair appears to be designed as curls simply tied in a bun, whilst in 452/2 the hair seems to be held covered by a veil; these particular characteristics are only found on obverses of Crawford 452/4 and 5 and never on the ones of 452/2.
