The reverse image seems larger than the obverse image.

I left it like that because that's what it looks like when you turn it over. The obverse is tapered and it's a pretty chunky coin.

 

That's not my coin but it gives a clearer indication of why the obverse is smaller.
The above image was taken from PtolemyBronze.com from the article "Lathe Machining of Bronze Coin Flans."

 

When shooting a coin with a taper edge it helps to bounce some light on that edge so yo can see the taper. It keeps the two from looking different in size.

 

Second photo is excellent; as always beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cheers.

 

Love that Green Ro, beautiful coin..

 

hard to photograph/ this comes more close to the real one

Nice rating thanks

 

LOL, yeah. I can only give ONE "Like" per RO's threads. Posting the same coin several times with a different pic does not collect extra "Like" from me for each pic change of the same coin.

I try to do that BEFORE I post the pic. Otherwise y'all get the Seller's pic...

I've just found one today in gold

 

Welcome @David Baines. Did you buy it? If so, we would love to see it.

 

No, I just found it today metal detecting. It's in wonderful condition. I'll post pics up just as soon as I've had my tea. I've only found references to the aureus and images of bronze coins such as this one. My first ever gold!
