ANASTASIUS I, 491-518. AV Solidus (4.48 gms), Constantinople Mint, 5th Officina, 492-507. NGC MS, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 3/5.
S-3. Obverse: Helmeted and cuirassed bust facing slightly right, holding shield and spear over shoulder; Reverse: Victory standing left, holding long jeweled cross; star to right; Є//CONOB. Rather conservatively graded in the opinion of this cataloger, the present specimen dazzles with an exceedingly bold and sharp strike, while the overall surface quality isn't that far off. Furthering its appeal that much more is the fact that is exhibits no evidence of handling, surviving in a wholesome, original state of preservation.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
