A beautiful example, virtually as struck with much original silvering remaining and lovely golden patina.
Note: THIS COIN IS PART OF THE CODED EQVITI SERIES (see the letter "T" in left field which is the 5th lettter in the 6-letter EQVITI phrase. This coin was struck by the 5th officina, i.e. officina "V"; there were 6 officinae at Ticinum mint at that time; each one struck a different reverse with a different letter from the EQVITI code). For more information about the (A)EQVITI series see the below excellent article by Gert Boersema:
