    Congrats. That is a coin you’re going to enjoy showing for a long time.

    These may have been struck in Tarentum. Yours actually DOES belong to the nice style and is a product of the official mint. The crude ones (often off-center) are mostly ancient imitations with caricaturesque engraving and inferior metal quality.
