    Posted this in ChrsMats thread, here is my Numerian I mainly got for the reverse type, which isnt seen too often.

    It has a very dark green/thick patina.

    Numerian (283 - 284 A.D.)
    Æ Antoninianus
    O: IMP NVMERIANVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right.
    R: VNDIQVE VICTORES, Numerian standing left, holding globe and sceptre, captive on each side.
    Rome mint
    22mm
    4.07g
    RIC 423, Cohen 120

    An important reverse type fallaciously
    claiming 'victories on Every Side'.

    I like reverse types with captives...Think I said that in the other tread. I don't have a Numerian.
