<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 25718997, member: 111067&quot;]I picked this issue because the version with IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG is the less common of the two versions of this issue, the other being IMP CLVDIVS AVG. Also, they struck two versions of this type with the bust left or right. The left bust appears to be much scarcer if Ocre is anything to go by. They show only 9 of this type in major institutions or collections with only two being the left facing bust. Shown here is the MER-RIC listing for this type <a href="https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1057" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1057" rel="nofollow">https://ric.mom.fr/en/coin/1057</a> Also it is nice to see a well centred strike with the beaded border visible all round.</p><p><br /></p><p>Claudius II AE Antoninianus.
