Sestertius Lucius Verus 166 AD VIC-PAR

According to most descriptions its Victory holding a shield inscribed VIC PAR mounted on a palm tree or palm trunk. All I can see is a mini-my from Victory herself under the shield.

*Coin was issued in 166 AD in honour of Lucius Verus finally defeating the Parthians

I had to lighten the image, but your attribution looks correct to me.

 

But the coin looks like in hand as in my original picture, Bing
As a favour I enlarged and added some colour to your picture

 

I hope you didn't take offense, but for some reason, many images are very dark on my monitor. I have to lighten them to see much of the detail as I did with yours. Besides, ole Bing looks good in color, eh?

 

No offense taken, but on my monitor with the pic enlarged it looks OK.
But from now on I will post 2 pictures of the same coin, watch for the special Bing sticker !
Sir Bing looks like an Englishman from New York in the picture.

From the same seller another Sestertius:

 

Why, thank you. I'm gettin' old so any help for the eyes is appreciated (I do have an optometrist appointment next week).

BTW, nice looking Sestertius, but I like it better in the first image.
