    The reverse of this bronze coin depicts 2 standing ladies who might look modern in their outfit or other. Obverse has an Emperor heading right, with a clear counter mark in right field. It weighs 16.95 g.Post your comments, of you like.

    Looks like an eagle, or possibly a mythological figure like standing Griffin.BTW.. I meant modern compared to Ancient Rome where they're usually naked or with some old head dress. Could you guess that bearded eye-appealing Emperor?

    Valerian. The ‘lady’ on the right is Asklepios.
