    Ummm, I don't have a fancy "TET" but I do have a humble AR example ...

    Man, I wish I had something as beautiful as OP's Get, but all I have is this Denarius of Thrax that was probably a reworked Alexander Severus die that was worked on when news of Alexander's death and Maximinus' ascension reached Rome.

    He is so A. Severus like in this portrait. The resemblance is uncanny.

    Great coin! I like the bust of Selene reverse and have been looking to get one of them. I would be really pleased with an example like yours.

    A recently-photographed denarius of Max Thrax:
