Here is another FTR Galley addition to my collection. I seem to have developed a soft spot for these Rome mint Galleys. I will share my newest coin first. It has some issues but under all the surface encrustations seems to be a nice coin with plenty of silvering. I will not be touching it and it will stay as it is.
