That is a pleasant portrait with smoothly worn fields! Mine is a different reverse (SAECVLO FRVGIFERO) with rough fields on the obverse especially.
Very nice Sestertius @Julius Germanicus ! good features, and I like the flan crack. I only have a Denarius from him: RI Clodius Albinus 193-197 CE AR Denarius ROMAE AETERNAE Roma seated
Yes, the eye-appeal is off the charts for that one, congrats! I actually like it that the legends are pretty much worn completely off (rather than persisting in ghostly form), gives it the look of medallion. Very appealing! Here's my Aesculapius denarius:
Great portrait! Kind of gives you a sense of Albinus' look. The worn aspect is most pleasing. Wonder how many hands the coin passed through over the ages!
