ROMAN REPUBLIC. L. Antestius Gragulus. AR Denarius (3.84 gms), Rome Mint, 136 B.C. NGC AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.
Cr-238/1; Syd-451. Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma right; mark of value below chin; Reverse: Jupiter, holding thunderbolt and scepter, driving galloping quadriga right. A beautifully produced Denarius; the depictions of both Roma and the quadriga are rendered in elegant style.

Hardly any marks are detectable on the lightly toned surfaces, indicating very little time spent in circulation.
Estimate: $300 - $500
