[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 6568609, member: 87809"]And this is the second one. Thank you [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] for showing and describing your Republican Denarii 43 & 44. I owe this one to your post :) What sparked my interest is that this was the first Roman coin on which the name CAESAR appeared. And then I saw that Frank had one in his auction. Could almost hear my dad say "You should try to win this one", and I did.:) Since all about this denarius has already been said here [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/first-coin-arrivals-of-2021-roman-republican-denarii-nos-43-44.372929/[/URL] Will just show it. I think that the control mark is "R"; on the reverse it isn't as clear as on the obverse. [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], as you have an extensive knowledge about these denarii, can you please confirm it is the letter "R"? Picture is by Frank, which surely is much better than nine (you all, and I too, know already that my pictures are bad): Rome, 103 BC 17 x 16 mm, 3.957 g Crawford 320/1; Sydenham 593; Sear RCV I 198; Ob.: Head of Mars left wearing helmet with long crest, feather on side, and peaked visor; behind, CAESAR upwards; control-mark R above visor Rev.: Venus Genetrix driving biga drawn by two cupids to l., holding scepter and reins; above reins, control-mark R; beneath cupids to l., lyre; in ex.
