That really is a distinctively different portrait for a barbarous radiate. The reverse strongly suggests a Caesar so Tetricus II is obvious but...
I retired in 2003. It has not happened yet.
Every so often I get the desire to work on shooting coins on white rather than black as is my usual form. The silver on white below did not have...
