Lovely example - quite a bit better than my own, and again, an excellent upgrade for a more difficult emperor.

I like the VNDIQUE VICTORES reverse, though, on the first coin, it's quite a bit scarcer, although the sentiment expressed by that legend may have been a bit premature, or perhaps wishful thinking...

Love that portrait, especially the now-visible beard. Well done!

Yep the old one is defiantly a scarcer issue but I'm going for grade here.

A very nice upgrade with a good strong portrait. I have a strong leaning towards the Lugdunum mint and added one Numerian to my pile this year. It is a scarcer type for this emperor and the grade is acceptable too thought I must admit that grade is not my primary driver in collecting.

Numerian Antoninianus
Obv:- IMP C NVMERIANVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:- VIRTVS AVGG, Virtus standing left holding Vicotry, who is holding a wreath and palm and inverted spear
Mint - Lugdunum (C | _) Emission 9 Officina 3. Summer A.D. 284
Reference(s) - Cohen 103. Bastien 616 (3 examples cited). RIC 400 Bust Type F.

4.74 g, 23.69 mm. 0 degrees

My lone example. I almost bought a Numerian provincial from Alexandria last night but forgot to put a bid in.

Numerian (as Augustus)
AD 283-284.
AE Antoninianus
Rome mint (KAς)
VNDIQUE VICTORES / emperor and two captives

RIC V.2 422

Collection-Upgrade---Numerian
