Picked this up for an astonishing £4 in a box of mainly modern junk coins a few days ago. I've established its a sestertius and in a lovely high grade, but haven't found an example of this exact type showing what looks like victory advancing holding a palm frond. Any info much appreciated. Thanks!

Very nice Gordian III, his coin seem to hold up well in higher grades. Reverse is PAX AETERNA and appears to be Spes advancing left holding a flower and lifting skirt.

Looks pretty good to me. I wish the pic on DirtyOldCoins.com was a little bit bigger, but things do seem to match up! Very nice!

Not Spes. It is Pax running left holding branch and sceptre.
