JULIUS CAESAR. AV Aureus (8.05 gms), Rome Mint; A. Hirtius, praetor, 46 B.C. NGC VF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.
Cr-466/1; CRI-56; Calico-37; Syd-1018. Obverse: Veiled female head (Vesta or Pietas?) right; Reverse: Emblems of the augurate and pontificate: lituus, capis, and securis. A nice example of a popular Julius Caesar gold Aureus type, this issue was struck in 46 B.C. a few years after crossing the Rubicon. While this example is well travelled and has seen some usage, it is a nice collectable grade with even wear and an attractive honey gold tone. With both a good strike and clean surfaces, this example presents a chance at acquiring an infrequently seen example of Caesar's gold coinage.
Estimate: $5000 - $7500
