Details
OBV, Virtus standing left, holding parazonium and spear, right foot on helmet REV, bare head right. Sestertius means "two and one half", referring to its nominal value of two and a half asses (a bronze Roman coin, singular as), a value that was useful for commerce because it was one quarter of a denarius.
