<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2759873, member: 4298&quot;]This new baby found its place recently in my trays because of its incredible colours : a glossy dark green and veronese green (almost) patina (fricken tough to take pictures of BTW) with pink cuprite deposits on the reverse. One can also see some yellow due to bare metal (orichalcum) appearing on the edge. It&#039;s a scarce sestertius of Marcus Aurelius&#039; celebrating victory upon the Germans with a very appealing (to me) five lines text on the reverse :</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0140-320.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Marcus Aurelius, Sestertius </b> Rome mint, AD 173</p><p>M ANTONINVS AVG TRP XXVII, Laureate bust of Mercus Aurelius right</p><p>VICT / GERM / IMP VI / COS III / SC in five lines within a laurel wreath</p><p>20,50 gr, 30 mm</p><p>Ref : RCV # 5015, C # 995 (15), RIC #1090</p><p><i>Ex Besançon Numismatique</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Feel free to post anything you think is relevant : cool patina, Marcus Aurelius, Germans, victories.
