IMP C M AVR CARVS PF AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS AVGG, Emperor standing right, holding eagle-tipped sceptre, receiving globe from Jupiter, standing left, holding sceptre. TR in lower center. Mintmark XXI. RIC V-2, 128. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 8:52 pm Agree with the above assessments. The top coin looks okay, the middle coin looks highly suspicious and the bottom "coin" is absolutely fake. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
