My coin below I was impressed by as the full circle of the border on the obverse is visible on the struck flan. But it seems the whole series was mostly struck this way. I find that very cool! (I set up an acsearch link for this series below the images.)

Nice. Excellent rendition of the cuirass too. And the chocolatey patina works particularly well against warm palette of your fresco fragment, Joe.

Roman coins with a full border on both sides always command a value premium.

There are a few different renditoins of the bust types as well as a few reverse legend variations as well and obverse legend and bust varieties if you want to chase after them.

Drapey on the far shoulder and HERCVLI PACIFERO

The same reverse type occurs at Lugdunum but seems harder to track down. The come with COMITI PROBI AVG legend
