Description

★ Incredibly Bold Rendition of the 'Dictator for Life' ★

JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (3.98 gms), Rome Mint, L. Aemilius Buca, moneyer, 44 B.C. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5.
Cr-480/8; CRI-105; Syd-1061. Likely lifetime issue. Obverse: CAESAR DICT PERPETVO, laureate head right; Reverse: L BVCA, Venus standing left, with head lowered, holding victoriola and scepter. Immensely lustrous and choice, this attractive example presents a detailed portrait of the slain dictator. Struck slightly off center, as is commonly encountered for the issue, this specimen is a decided cut above that which is normally found. Wholly pleasing and charming, and sure to generate immense interest.
Ex: JD Collection of Roman Republican Coins. Ex: Aretusa 2 (1994) Lot # 291.
Estimate: $4000.00- $6000.00
