<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Codera, post: 26626881, member: 70631&quot;]I didn&#039;t think this day would come (at least not until much later in my life) but I believe I&#039;ve finally found my collection&#039;s official crown jewel! I seriously don&#039;t think anything&#039;s going to top it this year (unless I somehow manage to get an aureus which is unlikely). Very happy with my latest acquisition, anyone have lifetime Caesar coins they&#039;d like to share?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698021[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Roman Imperatorial</b></p><p><b>Julius Caesar (49-44 BC)</b></p><p><b>Denomination</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; silver AR denarius</p><p><b>Weight:</b>&nbsp; &nbsp; 3.69 grams</p><p><b>Diameter</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; 18 mm</p><p><b>Die Axis</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; 5 h</p><p><b>Struck</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; 48 - 47 BC </p><p><b>Mint</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; Military mint moving with Caesar in North Africa</p><p><b>Obverse</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; Diademed head of Venus right</p><p><b>Reverse</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; CAESAR, Aeneas advancing left, holding palladium in right hand and carrying his father Anchises on left shoulder </p><p><b>References</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; Roman Republican Coinage (Crawford) 458/1; RBW Collection of Roman Republican Coins (RBW) 1600; History &amp; Coinage of the Roman Imperators (Sear) 55;&nbsp; Roman Silver Coins (RSC) volume I 12</p><p><b>Grade / Comments</b>:&nbsp; &nbsp; near Very Fine, several banker&#039;s marks on obverse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
