Otho (AD 69), Otho (AD 69), Tetradrachm of Antioch, head, laureate right, reverse Eagle standing left with palm-branch (BMC 214, Sear 686). Good fine, rare (£130-160)

It is interesting to note that the die-engraver of Antioch never recieved the official portrait & thus omits Otho’s wig and made his likeness similar to the late unlamented Nero
