Denarius of Group 7, limp tail variety. Scarce major variation characterized by widely splayed visor ending in pointed lines, lack of curl in horse’s tail (limp tail), and a distinctive cape. Very light weight but SG of 9.9 suggests mostly silver. Flan is visibly thinner than other RRC 44/5 examples in my collection.
