       pointing a wand at a globe on a tripod. [Q.] POMPONI on the right
       side; MVSA on the left side. Condition is aF/F+, but several
       (ancient) bankers' marks and scratches; slightly off-center, with
       the star on the obverse and, on the reverse, the Q in the

     information:

     Just a little help for those interested in this coin: These
     normally sell for $400-$500 in nicer grades. The reserve on this
     one is considerably lower than that, but more than $100. I have
     just posted two other scans for more detail:
