Lovely brown patina. One of the best known examples of this type. An impressive coin. Good extremely fine.

Ex Numismatica Ars Classica 86, 8 October 2015, 116 & Numismatica Ars Classica 21, 2001, 383.

The portrait on this coin is quite truly extraordinary in its veristic brutality. It shows Claudius without any of the usual Julio-Claudian idealization and handsomeness; rather it gives us the image of the rough, not all together elegant individual as he was described in the ancient sources.
