<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2603116, member: 80147&quot;]Just another point worth noting on these Nero denarius is the two distinctive types, yours like mine and the majority have a large bust of Nero not leaving enough room for the legend on a 17-18mm coin. If you look through CNG archives you will see some with small busts and in most cases full legends see link <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=194917#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=194917#" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=194917#</a>&nbsp; </p><p>My theory is that being vain he wanted the larger bust but with so many unreadable legends he had to bite the bullet and make the busts smaller to enable complete legends on a second series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
