<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3025720, member: 31620&quot;]Along with the &quot;Jupiter the Thunderer&quot; coin I bought another Jupiter coin from the same delater. It has proven quite difficult to photograph. The coin is quite sharp overall though there are a few things that are distrations to it. There is a wide range of toming and patination. There is one area (on the beard of the emperor) where the patina appears to have been rubbed back to bare metal. The remainder of the coin has a range of glossy brown, dark green, small areas of golden toning but there are a couple of small areas on the obverse (in patches of the legend, around areas of the crown and on the drapery) where there are hard, green crusties. I was drawn in by the sharp details on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Licinius I - Follis</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:- IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:- IOVI CONSERVATORI , Jupiter standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, leaning on sceptre, Victory on globe in right hand; eagle with wreath to left.</p><p>Minted in Cyzicus (_ | X over II Mu // SMKG).</p><p>Reference:- RIC VII Cyzicus 15 (R2)</p><p><br /></p><p>3.42 gms. 20.16 mm. 0 degrees </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_155as_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
