[QUOTE="MarcusAntonius, post: 7469821, member: 119121"]Nearly unique category, which is a R4: it means exceptional rare but certainly not UNIQUE (there is one other exemplar known to be in circulation). Sometimes do I encounter coins with 5/6 cousins all in musea around the world, the one offered is the only one in private possession, in that sense is this a UNIQUE opportunity to buy one exemplar out of X specimen. It's not something to let pass, perhaps the opportunity of a life time! But it's still not a unique coin, but the only specimen in private possession instead, which can make it extremely valuable and fulfill a life time dream of the collector of a certain category coins. Did acquire this one (beside Imperatorial do I also collect other coins like Celts, Republic, Imperial, Celts and rare Tetradrachmes of Lysimachos) I am happy with both the rarity and the quality, such a aesthetic example! Provenance: ex Numismatik Lanz, Munich, Auction Sale 135, 21 May 2007 (lot 154) with his large illustrated ticket for the coin. The only other example of the monogram to appear in Coin Archives occurs in Noble Auction Sale 101 November 2012 (lot 3399). [ATTACH=full]1293576[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
