Aelius Caesar (AD 136-138). Æ as (25mm, 13.13 gm, 5h). Rome, AD 137. L · AELIVS CAESAR, barehead of Aelius right / TR · POT · COS · II S - C, Salus seated left, feeding from patera held in right hand a serpent twined around alter to left, CONCORD (sic!) in exergue. RIC --, cf. 1075 (SALVS in exergue) and 1070 (Concordia seated left, no snake). Unrecorded and unnoted in RIC, this seems to be a die engravers error substituting the name of Concordia for Salus, the goddess depicted. Extremely rare, possibly unique! Besides that, an attractive coin. Green patina, lightly smoothed in fields. NGC XF 5/5 - 3/5, light smoothing.
Estimate: 500-700 USD
