05 Claudius RIC I 58
Claudius 41-54 A.D. AR Denarius.  Rome Mint 50-51 A.D.  (3.58g, 18.4mm, 8h). Obv: TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG P M TR P X PP IMP XVIII, laureate head right.  Rev: PACI AVGVSTAE, Pax-Nemesis advancing right, holding winged caduceus pointed at snake.  RIC I 58, RSC 66a. Ex CNG 258, Lot: 348.

Claudius was a capable, yet unlikely emperor. Shunned as an idiot by his family due to a limp and embarrassing stutter. After Caligula's murder the Praetorian Guard proclaimed him emperor. He governed well and conquered the troublesome island of Britain. He was poisoned by his second wife, mother of Nero.  It was very difficult for me to find a denarius of Claudius, and I love this reverse.
