Love that obverse spear too! And the details on Theo's uniform on the reverse are just absolutely great.

Is that a giant die crack on the reverse past the front of the galley? Unfortunately covering up Victory's face, it seems, but from a numismatic perspective it's really neat.

Really like the reverse on this. I favor coins with a martial scene depicted on the reverse and appealing ones are more rare in the late Empire. Frankly, appealing art is more rare on the coinage at all, but I really like this one.
