GALBA, A.D. 68-69. AR Denarius (3.49 gms), Rome Mint. NGC EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Edge Marks.
RIC-232; RSC-240. Obverse: Laureate head right; Reverse: Salus standing left, with foot on globus, holding rudder and sacrificing from patera over lighted and garlanded altar to left. An incredibly charming example of the popular type, this Denarius displays a strong strike and is rather well centered. Some unobtrusive edge marks are the only minor fault on this wholly original piece. Certain to generate great enthusiasm for those collectors of "twelve Caesars" types.
From the Jones Collection.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
