Marc Antony Legionary AR Denarius. Military mint moving with Antony, autumn 32 - spring 31 BC. ANT•AVG III•VIR•R•P•C (N retrograde), praetorian galley to right / Aquila between two signa; LEG IX across fields. Crawford 544/23; CRI 359; RSC 37. 3.73g, 17mm, 6h.

Good Extremely Fine.

The retrograde N in the obverse legend of this piece, likely a simple error on the part of the die engraver but easily recognisable, shows us that this obverse die was used to strike Legionary denarii for both the Eighth and Ninth Legions concurrently (cf. Goldberg 84, 27 January 2015, lot 3151).
