NERVA, A.D. 96-98. AR Denarius (3.53 gms), Rome Mint, A.D. 97. NGC AU★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.
RIC-9; RSC-132. Obverse: Laureate head right; Reverse: Salus seated on throne left, holding two ears of grain. A wonderful visual representative, this Denarius displays a beautifully serene luster that and a bold and expressive portraiture of Nerva. Nicely centered, and rather hard to find fault with, as evidenced by the "star" designation NGC has applied to this piece.
From the Jones Collection. Ex: J. Eric Engstrom Collection.
Estimate: $600.00- $900.00
