Radiate and cuirassed bust right / Aurelian standing right, holding scepter, receiving globe from Jupiter standing left, holding scepter; *T. RIC V 227; BN 764. Silvering toned dark gray, areas of flat strike. Near EF.
Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 295 (30 January 2013), lot 486.
BN notes that the obverse is from the 5th emission and the reverse is from the 4th. Stylistically, the engraving of the obverse die of the present specimen shares many characteristics of the obverse dies of the 4th emission illustrated in BN, however it is lacking drapery on the bust which all of those coins have (cf. BN 745-63).
