Marc Antony AR Denarius. Athens, Summer 32 BC. Bare head of Marc Antony right; in hair below ear, small P; [ANTON•AVG•IMP•III•COS•DES]•III•III•V•R•P•C• around / ANTONIVS AVG•IMP•III in two lines. Crawford 542/2; CRI 347; RSC 2. 3.37g, 15mm, 8h.
Very Fine. Porous.
Though difficult to discern on this example, the small P on the obverse represents the only example of an artist engraving his initials on a Roman Republican coin. This fact went unnoticed for centuries, until it was first pointed out in a Santamaria sales catalogue in 1920.
