JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (3.81 gms), Military Mint Traveling with Caesar, 49 B.C. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
Cr-443/1; CRI-9; Syd-1006; RSC-49. Obverse: Elephant advancing right, trampling upon horned serpent; Reverse: Emblems of the pontificate: simpulum, aspergillum, securis, and apex. Quite glistening and brilliant, this barely handled specimen exhibits just a hint of off-centering (a common issue for the type), but with all design elements rather clear and bold. An excellent representation of this ever-popular and historically important type.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
