Mildenberg-187 (O22/R121); Meshorer-277; Hendin-6458. Obverse: Grape bunch; Reverse: Two upright trumpets. Somewhat weaker in strike upon the obverse, this lightly circulated example offers a stronger aspect to the reverse, with some scattered glints of the undertype visible, though not enough to determine a specific imperial personage.
