Fine to very fine condition. There are some knocks to the rim visible from the side but only resulting in a couple of very mild edge bumps that could be noticed when viewed directly from either the obverse or reverse. The emperor's bas-relief has only minimal wear to the high points and some minor dings and scratches; the details of the portrait are still well-defined, while the raised lettering is practically perfect. The artwork and raised inscription on the reverse are extremely well-preserved and crisp.
