AR Antoninianus of Gordian III: Sol "Aeternitati Avg"

Don't you just love the sweet flow likes on Gordian III coins? You can tell that both the obverse and reverse dies were getting a little worn on yours, which is common as Gordian III's mint was pumping out coins like crazy and used the dies until they were literally falling appart. But thanks to that we do get some killer flow lines, though sometimes at the expense of the sharpness of the obverse or reverse.

The flow lines are really cool, the volume of production must have been incredible!
