CLAUDIUS II GOTHICUS, A.D. 268-270. AV Aureus (4.58 gms), Mediolanum Mint. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. Fine Style.
RIC-Unlisted; Calico-3964 corr. (Rome Mint; R5); Huvelin-Lafaurie-44 (this coin). Obverse: IMP CLAVDIVS AVG, laureate head left; Reverse: VIRTVS AVG, Mars advancing right, holding spear and trophy over shoulder. One of likely just five known examples for the type, this EXCEPTIONALLY RARE Aureus presents a bold and rather expressive portrait of the emperor. The strike on each side is very well centered and executed, aspects that should allow this piece to reach incredible heights.
