Good Very Fine. Slightly off-centre, minor scratch/graffito to rev. Deep old cabinet tone with iridescent highlights.
From the Andrew McCabe Collection;
Ex Classical Numismatic Group 49, 17 March 1999, lot 1308;
Ex Numismatik Lanz 78, 25 November 1996, lot 486.
This remarkable type forms part of the issue struck by Octavian to mark the reconciliation between himself and Marc Antony, an event which took place at Brundisium late in 40 BC. In contrast to his triumviral colleague however, Octavian gave the prominence of the obverse to Antony with the type bearing his portrait alone; on Antony's coinage of the same period, Octavian is only noted in a subsidiary capacity.
