Unusually well centered with a very ornate reverse
Add in the "legible" legend and the easily readable mint mark and you have quite the little gem
I have had more than a few of these in years past
But none as nice as this

I have never once seen a Marcian with a full strike on both sides! Even beat up, this is an incredible coin!

My current example, the best Marcian I have ever found
