<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1857385, member: 19463"]IMHO the last aureus has an excellent portrait style while the Libertas as seems like it was engraved by someone who believed Claudius was mentally defective. The others fall in between but, as you say, it is very much an opinion matter. The thing I really like about engraving of the period is the way they could render the transparent drapery, especially on the Spes sestertius. It is a very nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
