I have one, though smaller at 20mm, that also is a nice yellowish brass color with red "highlights". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It also has two temples on one coin, and you can mostly make out the statues within--Poppaea in the obverse temple and it's believed to be Nero and Poppaea's daughter Claudia in the temple on the reverse, but she was only 4 months old when she died, so maybe they guessed as to what she would've looked like? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20190102_222725410.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><font size="3"><b>Syria, Trachonitis.
