Argaeus atop garlanded altar. ЄT IΓ in exergue. The coin features a pleasant brown patina with darker spots throughout.

Paraloid B72 is used to help prevent bronze disease and is completely safe for the coin. The reference for this type is Sydenham 428. Thank you for your interest in my selection.
