Darn, I'm green with envy. What a stunning coin. Apollo has a perfect classical look to him, and the horse is simply beautifully done. A real gem @Alegandron

 

Thank you very much. One of my sub-collections are the Pre-Denarii AR and AE coinage of Roma, including Didrachmae, Drachmae, and Litrae. Oh, and of course, Aes types.
