Ex Gordon Parry Collection and previously from Dieter Gorny, Auction 69, Nov. 11, 1996 (lot 551) with packet. Antioch at this time was striking in good silver with a high standard of portraiture. This example provides interesting portraits of Nero and Agrippina. Unfortunately this example has surface pitting.
