Caracalla Antoninianus TRP XX

Needed a TRP XX coin for my small Caracalla collection, this coin was minted in the year he was murdered. Found one in the Numismatik Naumann auction.

Took 3 weeks to arrive due to an export licence from Austria to the Netherlands (both memberstates of the European community)
