RIC IV Trajan Decius 21B

 

**SPLENDID OLD CABINET TONING**

A common yet popular type issued for Decius with the personification of Upper and Lower Pannonia; a very lovely example with good detail on both obverse and reverse, a higher relief portrait, slight traces of iridescence on the reverse and beautiful dark ‘old cabinet’ toning; I have added several photos under different light sources to highlight the wonderful iridescence featured on this specimen, an absolutely fantastic example of the type!  Ex Marty Scmidt; Ex Wayne G Sayles, with his tag




All coins are authentic and from my own personal collection. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Over the coming weeks I will be adding more fixed price listings of Late Roman Bronze Coins so please check back with me.

If there is any specific type you are looking for let me know. I have an extensive Late Antique collection with AE and some AR issues dating from the mid 3rd Century AD to the 8th Century AD

Thank You
