<< <i>Front-facing coins were extremely difficult to engrave for the ancient celators and they rarely did a good job. This coin is unique, the finest of the overall type, among the nicest of all front facing portraits on ancient coins, and with a world-class pedigree to boot. The reverse is also nothing to sneeze at, with a lifelike depiction of a swan. I definitely paid a premium for it but am not looking back as it is utterly irreplaceable:

This is fantastic!!!
I also enjoyed Charmy's coin very much.
