Head of Coelius Caldus right, C•COEL•CALDVS downwards before, COS below, standard inscribed HS behind, standard in the form of a boar before / Table, inscribed L•CALDVS•VII•VR (ligate) EP•VL (ligate), with figure behind preparing epulum; on right, trophy with Macedonian shield; on left, trophy with carnyx and oval shield decorated with thunderbolt; on far right, [C•CALDVS] downwards; on far left, IMP•A•X downwards; below, [CALDVS•IIIVIR]. Crawford 437/2b; RSC Coelia 9; RBW 1551 (same obverse die). 3.96g, 19mm, 10h.
Very Fine, bankers mark on obverse. Very Rare.
From the Eucharius Collection.
Crawford notes that on one obverse die the legend inscribed on the standard to left in HS rather than the normal HIS, as seen on this example. This reverse die is also uncommon due to the positioning of the legends, which are in contrast to Crawford 437/2a.
