    Nice coin. I like ChiRho coins and this one shows the standards well.

    Look at the ear on the obverse. It's the highest relief part of the coin. Any wear would have occurred there first. If you see an ear worn flat but lots of hair detail and strong, distinct letters, then you might suspect tooling. On your coin the ear shows almost no wear, so I would assume that all the other details are original, not the result of tooling. I think it's a beautiful coin.
