[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 639078, member: 8959"]I was really amazed when viewing this little coin today, at the depth of strike, or rather, the very high relief achieved when striking this denarius. It is a denarius of Lucius Verus minted at Rome ca. 160 a.d. The portrait stands out from the planchet a good 1-1.5 mm! I find it amazing what die cutting quality and realism the mint at Rome was able to achieve.[/QUOTE]
