<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3624115, member: 97383&quot;]Terence, One word can adequately describe your Prieur 1141 Tet, <b>MAGNIFICENT</b>. Both sides are stunning, but the portrait side is unmatched for excellence <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Your coin appears to be the same example illustrated in Prieur&#039;s book on page 133 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Have you ever confirmed this? Your coin along with a handful of others rank as the finest examples of portraiture on the coins of Septimius Severus, from any mint in the Roman empire. The mint at Ladicea ad Mare certainly had very gifted celators working there. I&#039;ve got an excellent example of Prieur 1141 in my collection too, but your coin is a step above mine, see photos below. I think we may have a die match on the obverse. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]971768[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/laodicsseverus2-jpg.971655/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]971772[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
