A spectacular Caracall Antoninianus with the Egyptian god Serapis reverse. This is one of the more desirable reverse types for this coin as it depicts an Egyptian god on a roman coin. The coin has a wonderful even gunmetal tone, with fiery red in the devices which is best seen in the video. Light scratches and some porousness.
