This is a nice coin.

I saw this coin somewhere recently and thought about it, but I don't recall where.

If I am correct the Q was used on the VRBS ROMA from this period.

I have the RFE you mention in my collection.

I recently sold it in my VCoins store...probably a little on the cheap side at $45.00.
