Julius Caesar Denarius FDC
« on: April 20, 2023, 11:55:24 am »
I added a wonderful Caesar Denarius to my gallery. It has a beautiful cabinet tone and is centered perfectly. It comes from an old collection and was sold by Münzen & Medaillen in 1984.


https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=182365


Obv. Female head (Venus?) right, wearing pendant earring, necklace, stephane and oak wreath, hair bound in jeweled chignon at back of head; LII (Caesar's age=52) behind.
Rev. CAE-SAR, trophy of Gallic arms and armor, with horned helmet, chainmail shirt, shield, and carnyx; securis left to right.
Mint: Military mint traveling with Caesar in Greece, Apollonia, July 48 BC.

18mm 4.01g

Crawford 452/2, Sydenham 1010.

Ex Münzen & Medaillen, Auction 66, 22./ 23. October 1984, lot 456.

A stunning coin. Please add it to the BOT gallery. There is a similar coin already there but your coin won't be in contention with it because, although the Crawford reference numbers are the same, the Sydenham numbers are different. This is good, there is plenty of room in the gallery for superb coins like these.

[EDIT]
Thanks for adding it KC.  +++

That coin is a pleasure to view kc. Apart from the crisp detail it has a certain something, that ancient magic the best coins always have.

Well done!
