MDC Monaco e-auction 14. Was happy I caught this auction at 3am due to the sheer amount of Nero pieces they had. Ended up grabbing this Sestertius measuring a lovely 36mm, and the last image is a Nero dupondius which measures at 29mm.

Slowly exposing these letters, crazy hard mineral deposits but detail is under there as you can see by how deep the lettering is. Question is, what is it? Profile appears to be facing right. Reverse is very flat at this moment
