<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 4561743, member: 21445&quot;]Just recently I had posted what turned out to be a fairly rare Claudius Denarius. I ended up parting with the coin for a much more significant sum than I had paid for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And not to soon after parting with it I ended up buying this Cistophoric Tetradrachm. I admit I like this Tetradrachm more than the denarius, mainly because the portrait looks like Claudius &amp; not Caligula.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, who doesn&#039;t like bigger silver?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/c1j7YWPm/claudcis.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Claudius (41 - 54 A.D.)</p><p>AR Cistophoric Tetradrachm</p><p>O: TI CLAVD CAES · AVG, bare head left.</p><p>R: COM ASI across field, distyle temple of Roma and Augustus, enclosing standing facing figures of Claudius, holding scepter, being crowned by Fortuna, holding cornucopia; ROM ET AVG on entablature.</p><p>Ephesus mint.
