Aurelian BI Denarius. Rome, AD 275. IMP AVRELIANVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust to right / VICTORIA AVG, Victory walking left, holding wreath and palm, bound and seated captive to left, with head turned to right; A in exergue. RIC V.1 73; MER-RIC 1846 (temporary). 1.92g, 19mm, 4h.
Extremely Fine.
Billon denarii such as these would not have been intended for circulation, but rather minted as presentational issues - cheaper as being mostly made of bronze, silvered to appear more expensive, and used in situations such as imperial processions, wherein the emperor would hand out large quantities of such coins as largesse.
