A Rare Rainbow Toned quinarius

Recommended Posts

This one was such a sweet addition. Nice Quinarii are very special and quite difficult to come by ... even more so with hints of rainbow toning.

A rare Victory quinarius from the first silver issue of 86. Unusually, the obverse and reverse legends mirror the denarii.

As always, thank you for looking!
