ANTONINUS PIUS, A.D. 138-161. AR Denarius (3.48 gms), Rome Mint, A.D. 160-161. NGC MS, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.
RIC-308; RSC-150. Obverse: Laureate head right; Reverse: Liberalitas standing left, holding cornucopia and abacus. A perfect denarius of Antoninus Pius in every sense: great centering, exceptional strike, good luster, and no evidence of circulation. The eye appeal of this piece is endless, and it could have easily earned a star designation for this fact. Exceptional quality that is rarely encountered.
From the Collection of Dr. James Eustace Bizzell, II.
Estimate: $500.00- $700.00
