ROMAN REPUBLIC. L. Furius Cn.f. Brocchus. AR Denarius (3.92 gms), Rome Mint, 63 B.C. NGC MS, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Flan Flaws.
Cr-414/1; Syd-902. Obverse: Draped bust of Ceres right, wearing grain wreath; stalk of grain to left, barley grain to right; Reverse: Curule chair between two fasces. This lovely Denarius displays a bold strike, particularly well-centered on its obverse. The details are crisp and attractive. While some flan flaws are noted, they avoid all of the devices. Displaying beautiful light toning, the fields glimmer with full luster. A charming Mint State example of this later Republican issue.

Estimate: $200 - $400
