SAX series Æ As. Rome, 169-158 BC. Laureate head of Janus, I above / Prow right; SAX above, I before, ROMA below. Crawford 180/1. 19.67g, 21mm, 2h.
Near Very Fine. Fine mottled green patina.
From the Andrew McCabe Collection;
Privately purchased from Spink & Son Ltd., 1995.
The RRC 180 SAX and RRC 173 C.SAX series can be prone to misidentification by collectors. Aside from the legend above the prow, the two series' can be distinguished by their prow decks; there is never any deck-top structure on C.SAX, whereas SAX bronzes always have a rectangular structure as seen on this coin.
