Tejas Posted August 5 · Member Share Posted August 5 I guess the summer dolldrums played into my hands. There was no interest for the coin below in an Ebay auction and I bought it for the asking price of 55 euros. Obv: IMP C NVMERIANVS AVG Rev: PAX AVGG Measurements: 3.49 g, 24mm The coin is an attractive condition, especially the obverse. The coin has a large flan and it shows a scarcer and more desireable military bust, with Numerian carrying a lance. 12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
