Watch List notes:

OSTROGOTHS. Odovacar, A.D. 476-493. AV Solidus (4.35 gms), Rome Mint. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 2/5. Ex-Mount, Marks.

RIC-3651. Struck in the name of Zeno. Obverse: Diademed, helmeted, and cuirassed bust facing slightly right, holding spear across shoulder; Reverse: Victory standing left, holding cross; star to the right. This handsome piece from right after the fall of the Western Roman Empire presents a good strike and very little evidence of rub on the surfaces. Marks are noted, and the piece was at one time mounted, but the details remain strong enough to provide a great example for a collectible for a fraction of the price.

Estimate: $400 - $600
