@ro1974 there is no crown on the second coin you showed only laureate head right

 

I think he is asking why his coin doesnt appear to have a laureate bust like the second coin, but rather a plain bust.

 

Aha. Well, in that case, I don't have an answer.

 

what a plain bust

thanks

 

I have no answer either....so let's get our in-house expert to chime in...

@David Atherton Are you available???

 

Bare-headed, without a laurel crown.

 

He must have sat for the portrait on casual Friday.

 

The laureate version, RIC 1288, is listed as 'Common'. The bare head version, RIC 1289, is listed as 'Rare'.

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you
