Reverse: Eagle with spread wings perched on sceptre left, clutching laurel wreath in right talon, pellet below right talon (reminiscent of the types of Q. Pomponius Rufus). RPC I 1701B. A nice example of a numismatic type with plenty of mystery, evenly worn but with a small area of flat strike, good Very Fine.
