Roman Empire, Aurelian, Antoninian Siscia - ex Dattari

OBVERSE: IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG
REVERSE: CONCORDIA MILI = Concordia standing left, holding standard in each hand.
BUST TYPE: A = radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from front
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/S//-
MINT: SISCIA
EMMISSION: 1
WEIGHT: 3.82
AXIS: 12H

Note: Scarce and desirable reverse type from Siscia's 1st issue.

Exceptionally well struck, on a centric flan, with beautiful patina, very good details and fully legible reverse legend. A portrait pf the fin est style. Very rare in such a condition! (most Aurelian coins from the early issues were poorly struck, on non-centric flans, with regular strike weaknesses and hence are poorly preserved unlike Aurelian's coins struck after the monetary reform of A.D. 274).

Great provenance: ex famous Giovanni DATTARI collection formed at the turn of the XIXth and XXth century.
