Ancient World Skithia Geto-Dacians Koson AV Stater 44-42 ВС NGC BU
RPC# 1701A; HGC# 3.2, 2049.; Obverse: Roman consul accompanied by two lictors advancing left; monogram to left; Reverse: Eagle, holding wreath, standing left on scepter. Though previously attributed to a Thracian king by the name of Koson and believed to allude to the denarius issued by M. Junius Brutus, more recent scholarship points toward an attribution to the Geto-Dacians, not Thrace, and somewhat before the referenced issue of Brutus. Nevertheless, a lustrous and choice example of this enigmatic emission.
