CALIGULA (37-41 AD)
A Totally Outstanding AE AS. Reverse “VESTA” S.C. With a superb medallic strike and a totally complete legend.
OBV: C.CAESAR.AVG. GERMANICVS.PON.M.TR.POT.
REV: VESTA. Seated left, holding patera. S.C. This stunning portrait piece is one of the best examples of a Caligulan As that you could possibly wish for.
The coin has a seriously rare & fully medallic strike on a perfectly circular planchette which also exhibits an incredibly well struck legend and full edge denticulation on both obverse & reverse. Totally original with a deep brown glossy patina.
When this coin was lost it had probably only been in circulation for a few weeks in the mid 1st century. A MIRACLE SURVIVOR. A Sheer Classic fit for the finest collection of Roman coins.
