Channeling the famous denarius struck in the autumn of 34 B.C. in the years leading up to the Battle of Actium, this re-imagining, issued some 2,040 years later, is a rather faithful execution and serves as an excellent "space-filler." Struck in a quantity of just 98 pieces for ČNS auction 152, it presents the ancient "power couple" of Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony), Julius Caesar's right-hand man, and his lover Cleopatra (Kleopatra VII of Egypt), the final link of Ptolemaic rule in the mighty province.
Estimate: $100 - $200
