VIRTVTI HERCVLIS Hercules, nude but for his diadem, standing right, leaning with his left hand on his club, entwined with his lion skin and set on a rock at his feet to right. Apparently unpublished, Calicó -, Depeyrot -, RIC -; but see NAC 105, 2018, 111 (ex NAC 31, 2005, 132 and HJB BorB 109, 1999, 15a) for the unique corresponding issue of Constantius Chlorus Caesar, struck from the same reverse die. Of the highest rarity, probably unique. A coin of great interest. Probably once mounted, but very carefully repaired, otherwise, about extremely fine.
