Budget Legionary Denarius Rarity Of The Day

[TenthGen]

I present my recently acquired Marc Antony LEG IIII denarius. As discussed throughout this thread on Legionary Denarii, coinage of the 4th Legion ("Scythica") is more commonly represented by the "IV" marking, but rare to scarce examples use "IIII". I was happy to find this example below at a great price.

It's certainly a budget example, but in hand and in the dealer's original photo the IIII is faint, yet clearly there. I believe it's even somewhat legible in my own photo presented below. I am happy to find an affordable way to add a rare Legionary Denarius to my collection.

Not an easy one to find.  Congrats!  I've owned 2 but currently have only one in my collection after selling off most of my legionaries.

Thanks Jay! I am slowly but surely building up a collection of legionaries. Your gallery makes a great guide.
