RIC 878 VAR. (PARMA SHIELD UNLISTED)
COLLECTION NO. 700

Very rare and desirable military bust with small, round (Parma shield). Parma shield is eagerly sought-after by collectors. It was struck only in the mints of Ticinum, Siscia, Serdica and Cyzicus. While this type of shield is rare on Siscia and Serdica coins it is extremely rare on Ticinum and Cyzicus coins.

Bardzo rzadkie popiersie militarne z małą, okrągłą tarczą typu Parma.
