Very Good. (N/A). Looks a bit worn and has some discolouration. Age given is what we were told by the vendor. It would seem the first ones of these made were much earlier around 40 BC when Octavian was trying to undermine Cleopatra and Marc Antony to take control of the Roman Empire. Estimate: $100-200
