JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (3.83 gms), Military Mint traveling with Caesar in North Africa, ca. 48-47 B.C. NGC EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 3/5. Brushed.
Cr-458/1; CRI-55; Syd-1013; RSC-12. Obverse: Diademed head of Venus right; Reverse: Aeneas advancing left, holding palladium and bearing Anchises on shoulder. Though the obverse is slightly off center, this attractive piece retains strong details and some attractive sheen to the surfaces. As noted, this example does show some light brush marks, though these are not excessively distracting. A strong example of a type that is ever demanded due to its connection to one of history's most important figures.
Estimate: $1600 - $2400
