EASTERN EUROPE, Geto-Dacians. AR Serrate Denarius (18mm, 3.48 g, 3h). Types of L. Procilius. After 80 BC. Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat's skin headdress / Juno Sospita, holding spear and shield, driving biga right. Davis A/Ib (not on website); cf. Crawford 379/2. VF, toned.
From the RBW Collection. Ex Phillip Davis Collection (Gemini IX, 8 January 2012), lot 665.
From the Gemini sale: "This is perhaps the most important coin in the entire collection; the first, and thus far only, example of the Poroschia Hoard die-matched coins to have surfaces, other than in the hoard itself. The Poroschia Hoard is absolutely central to an understanding of the Dacian imitative coinage. See Davis, Apulum XLVII, 210 for an extensive discussion of it."
