[QUOTE="Michael Stolt, post: 7776204, member: 100445"]Today after one year and eight months, my female head series denarius finally arrived from Italy after getting export papers. I got very pleasantly surprised when looking at the coin in hand as it had far better surfaces than what was visible on the Bolaffi photos. It is insanely lustrous and a marvelous specimen of this type, accompanied by a good 1980s provenance. [ATTACH=full]1333813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1333814[/ATTACH] [B]Anonymous[/B]. 206-200 BC. AR Denarius (3.65 g). Uncertain mint. Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma right; X (mark of value) to left. Reverse: The Dioscuri, each holding spear, on horseback right; below horses, female head right; ROMA in exergue. Reference: Crawford 127/1. Provenance: Bolaffi Spa, Auction 35 (28 November 2019), lot 34, Ex Sternberg Auction XVII (9-10 May 1986), lot 478. Video of the coin: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/embed/6T-Zj-znqFQ[/URL][/QUOTE]
