I ended up getting some money for christmas, most of it went to other hobbies and some car fixes but the rest I put towards this tetradrachm.

I have wanted it for almost a year and after thinking it over and budging the price down a bit, its now mine.

Surprisingly tetradrachms of Claudius arent as rare like his imperials, it's still pretty cool to own though.
