<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4982310, member: 82549&quot;]Here&#039;s another favorite so far. It&#039;s really ravished, and the reverse has been largely eaten away by corrosion, which a previous owner has stripped off along with much of the detail. But I&#039;m mesmerized by the obverse portrait. It&#039;s so realistic, and it reminds me of a portrait that you might find on a tetradrachm of a 2nd centry B.C.
