Virtually as struck with great details and wonderful patina! Claudius's portrait of the finest style! Very rare in such an exceptional state of preservation, especially when considering how poorly struck and "ugly" Claudius' coins usually are.

The finest example of this type known! Please compare how ugly are the 11 examples of this variant cited on RIC online:
