This relatively common coin is a type that many RR bronze collectors own, and on its own is an insignificant, average condition example of a common type, but this was the first RR bronze that I purchased in June of 2015. I had just read through the RBW catalogs, NAC 61 and 63, and was captivated by the gold, silver and bronze that made up the series, so much so that I immediately began selling my Greek and Roman Imperial coins so that I could focus entirely on this series that I had previously largely ignored.
