Marcus Junius Brutus (early June, 85 BC – 23 October, 42 BC), often referred to as Brutus, was a politician of the late Roman Republic. He is best known in modern times for taking a leading role in the assassination of Julius Caesar ten years after this coin was minted.

RIC TEMP: unlisted with this reverse type !!!
Coll. no. 235
Note: very rare bust type in the coinage of Aurelian struck only at the mint of Cyzicus in combination with a completely unpublished reverse type. A coin of the highest numismatic interest!
Same obverse die as coins RIC TEMP 2878, RIC TEMP 2893, RIC TEMP 2829.1, which allows to attribute this unpublished coin with a reverse type lacking any mintmarks to the second issue of Cyzicus mint, especially as the standard MINERVA AVG type (with Minerva standing and holding spear and shield, facing left or right) was struck during issue 2 at Cyzicus.
Such original depiction of Minerva (walking left, holding shield in left arm and branch in right hand) varies significantly to the typical depiction of Minerva in which the Goddess is holding a spear and shield (see e.g. RIC TEMP no. 2861 or 2868) and seems unique in the whole Roman coinage. The only similar (yet not identical) depictions of Minerva can be found in the coinage of Postumus and Septimius Sever.
Only the second known specimen of this exact type (the other was sold at Solidus auction 6 lot 356). The third known example of this extraordinary reverse type is from a different pair of dies (and with a different bust type) - see https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/aurelian/RIC_0334v.jpg

Crawford 28/3, ROMAN REPUBLIC, Didrachm - QuadrigatusRome, The Republic.
Anonymous, 225-214 BCE.
AR Didrachm/Quadrigatus (7.25 g; 21mm).
Apulian Mint.
Obv: Janiform head with straight neck truncaction.
Rev: Jupiter and Victory on fast quadriga, right; ROMA in relief within linear frame below.
Reference: Crawford 28/3; Sydenham 65; BMCRR 101; Gentilehomme II.B.1.
Provenance: Ex NAC 92 (24 May 2016), Lot 1517.
The last few series of Roman silver didrachm coinage, produced from 225-214 BCE, are nicknamed "quadrigati" because of the common reverse type of Jupiter and Victory in a fast quadriga. Crawford's arrangement of quadrigati into distinct series requires a great amount of study to understand. Collectors and dealers alike often misattribute quadrigati among Crawford's series.
The Crawford 28 series of quadrigati, to which this example belongs, really should be split into two separate series. The first (early) series of 28s are almost certainly the earliest of the quadrigatus coinage - struck in good silver and of fine style in high relief with ROMA incuse in a rectangular tablet. The second (later) series of 28s, shown here, is of lower quality style and fabric; the neck truncation is wide and straight; ROMA is in relief in a linear frame. Like other Apulian coins, they typically show tabs or other signs of cast flan production, visible here at 2h reverse.Carausius

Crescent (Early), Denarius, Crawford 57/2Denomination: Denarius
Era: c. 207 BC
Metal: AR
Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma r. with peaked visor. Behind, “X”. Border of dots
Reverse: Dioscuri r.; Crescent above riders; in linear frame. “ROMA”.
Mint: Rome
Weight: 4.29 gm.
Reference: Crawford 57/2
Provenance: LHS Numismatik purchased 16-AUG-2006
Comments: Anonymous denarius with crescent symbol above dioscuri (Partially obscured). A common characteristic of this issue is that the reverse horses have short legs. The reverse is slightly off center so crescent symbol is somewhat obscured. The coin is otherwise mint state and EF.
This coin was part of the Ritter-Leu “S” hoard. For more on this hoard, see P. Debernardi and S. Brinkman “An Early Roman Republican Denarius Hoard”, Numismatic Chronicle, 2016.

According to van't Haaff, the differentiating feature for Phraates' coins is the decoration of the tiara with one or two pellet-in-crescents. He notes that this feature is not always visible, and assigns to Phraates all coins with the eagle reverse type. He describes the bust in Type 14.2 as wearing tiara and dotted rim, one or two diadem bands below tiara with two pellet-in-crescents. None of these features are not visible on this coin, on which the bust appears to only be wearing a diadem.Stkp

Elymais. Arsacid dynasty. Probably a contemporary regional counterfeit struck during the reign of Prince A (late 2nd to early 3rd centuries A.D.), or later.van't Haaff --; De Morgan --; BMC --; Sear GICV --; Alram --
AE unit (denomination undetermined), 2.51 g., 12.59 mm. max., 0°
Obv.: Bust facing left, side whiskers as double row of dots.
Rev.: Plain diadem of two bands with fine lines, pellet border.
The obverse bust most closely resembles Prince A (late 2nd to early 3rd centuries A.D.), van't Haaff 19.1.1-1A, whereas the reverse mirrors Phraates (early-mid 2nd century A.D.), van't Haaff 14.4.1-2). Due to the decades between these rulers, the coin is probably not a mule. The coins of Phraates may have remained in circulation during the reign of Prince A, and beyond. The coin is probably a contemporary regional counterfeit inspired by the Phraates reverse. However, the diadem on the reverse is a reference to sky god Bel, and the possibility that the coin is an unrecorded official coin, issued by Prince A with the revived iconography of Phraates, cannot be excluded.
