C. Vibius C.f. Pansa. 90 B.C. AR denarius (17 mm, 3.88 g, 3 h). Rome. PANSA behind, laureate head of Apollo right; below chin, uncertain symbol / C · VIBIVS · C · [F] in exergue, Minerva, holding trophy and spear, driving galloping quadriga right. Crawford 342/5b; Sydenham 684a; Vibia 2. Toned. Nearly very fine.

The are several distinct varieties of the denarii of C. Vibius C.f. Pansa. On those with the quadriga reverse, Crawford types 342/4 and 342/5, there are two varieties, with and without Victory flying above. Crawford notes that the figure of Victory on Pansa's coinage presumably reflects Roman successes during the Social War.
