Not that the previous coin was terrible by any means, but your new acquisition is better by several orders of magnitude. I can't imagine you'll ever be needing to upgrade again.

Really great looking coin. I love the reverse on this. I think this is my favorite depiction of Minerva I have seen.

I am trying to add Domitian soon. He is one of my favorite emperors and I've been waiting on a nice one. I will certainly looking into this type as I tend to look for reverses with a martial theme (Minerva rarely fits that theme).
