This is another of the group I purchased a few days ago. I do not have it in hand yet so these are the seller's images. The reverse image is turned 90 degrees and should be with the legend beneath. There is what appears to be a bankers mark within the cresent. P CLODIUS MF TURRINUS AR Denarius OBV: Radiate head of Sol right, quiver behind REV: Crescent moon and five stars, P CLODIVS M F below Struck at Rome, 42 BC 3.41g, 19mm Cr494/21, Syd 1115, Claudia 17 Background Information: I was unable to find anything about the coin in particular, but there is plenty regarding the Gens Claudia.
Very nice coin. I hope that shop gets more coins in for the same prices later on. I doubt I will be able to take advantage of it right now, unfortunately. Right now, there are so many coins that I don't have and sometimes I have to make decisions and end up gaining one but losing the other soon after. lol
Another great piece, Bing, and thanks for attaching the quotations. I like to read as much as I can about the coins people post, and you make my life much easier!
I do. As a beginning collector of ancients, I google the coins people post and try to research them to a certain extent.
