While they are struck with greater uniformity than ancient coins, differences in minting, handling, and preservation over the years give every coin a unique character. Professional photographs can never fully capture the brilliance of the surfaces, the luster, and the subtle play of light that appear when viewed in hand. That’s why I strongly recommend looking carefully at all the photos, from different angles and under varying light. This will give you the best possible impression of the quality, charm, and craftsmanship of the coin. The photos form an integral part of the description of this coin. They provide a complete and honest view of the condition, details, and appearance of the item offered. Please examine the images carefully for a full overview of any features, wear, or special characteristics. What you see is exactly what you will receive.
