Description

JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (3.86 gms), Military Mint traveling with Caesar in North Africa, ca. 48-47 B.C. NGC Ch VF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
Cr-458/1; CRI-55; Syd-1013; RSC-12. Obverse: Diademed head of Venus right; Reverse: Aeneas advancing left, holding palladium and bearing Anchises on shoulder. Elegantly toned a gunmetal gray and with some minor, typical off-centering to the strike, this example is always a collector favorite on account of its allusion to Julius Caesar's fabled ancestry.

Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
