That’s a very nice-looking sestertius. Here are a couple of mine with the “prince of the youth” reverse...that title definitely did not bring much luck in the 3rd Century. Geta, as Caesar, AR Denarius (19 mm, 3.23 g), Rome, 200-202. Bare-headed and draped bust of Geta to right/ Rev. PRINC IVVENTVTIS, Geta, as prince of the youth, standing left in military attire, holding baton in his right hand and spear with his left; behind, trophy. RIC 18. Herennius Etruscus Caesar, Antoninianus 250-251 AD, (23mm., 3.12g.), Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right/ Rev. PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS, Caesar, in military attire, standing left, holding wand in right hand and transverse spear in left hand. RIC 147c (T. Decius). From the M.J. Collection.
That is a great Maximus to end the year with, Ro! Congratulations! It ALMOST looks like an obverse die match to mine:
Really nice Maximus guys. The wildwinds coin #1 is also very close of an obverse die match @Julius Germanicus .
