<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1521054, member: 5739&quot;]Oh well it is certainly Bronze... and on the reverse it says P M TR P VIII COS III PP.</p><p>Also the reverse is the Emperor standing in Military uniform, holding globe and spear.... it is definitely bronze, and I just do not know which denomination, it has to be an AE As or an AE Sestertius due to the Laureate bust, since an AE Dupondius would have a radiate bust ( Good Lord, I just LOVE the &#039;Radiate bust&#039; Dupondius coins of Severus Alexander, but they are very rare and expensive, look them up!)</p><p>I know that with Severus Alexander, his Sesterces are not uncommon, even in higher grade, however when it comes to the smaller denomination bronzes, like the As and especially the Dupondius, the rarity as well as the prices go waay up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just love the portrait on this coin, it is gorgeous! I am quite impressed with the detail, the reverse is also very nice, with great clear legends, and a nice portrayal of the Emperor in Military Uniform standing and holding the Globe and spear. It looks almost as if his one foot is higher than the other, as if standing on something.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
