Ref/ RIC Vol 5a, 138 var.?

Seller's Note/ My goodness, what a curious coin! First off, RIC does not note this obverse legend from Milan without the C between IMP and CLAVDIVS. The closest reference we could find with S in the exergue is from the mint at Milan, but that Aequitas is listed without the cornucopia as seen in our example. The antoninianus issues of Claudius II are, sadly, normally presented in really bad shape; our's is not.

An excellent opportunity for you to add a 'perhaps' non-listed issue to your collection at a very low price.
