expat Posted February 12 · Supporter Share Posted February 12 So often the facial details of the reverse are just a blob. I received this coin today. You can clearly see the facial attributes of Zeus, alongside an aquamarine patina. Post your examples of Claudius or anything relevant.

ambr0zie Posted February 12 · Member Share Posted February 12 Indeed good artistic style for the reverse (and I also like the portrait). Here is a very similar design from another city in Phrygia. The reverse artistry was the first thing I liked about the coin. 20 mm, 5,11 g. Phrygia, Aizanis. Claudius 41-54. Ӕ. ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΝ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΑ ΑΙΖΑΝΙΤΑΙ, laureate head of Claudius, r. / ƐΠΙ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΜΗΤΡΟΓƐΝΟΥϹ, Zeus standing left with eagle and sceptre. RPC I, 3089. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
