    A rare fully-anonymous type from Sicily struck during the Second Punic War with an unmistakable stylistic relation to the C AL series(Crawford 75/1a and 1b). A really wonderful style of Roma. I've recently had the opportunity to upgrade so I am selling this at $250 shipped in the US which is right around the total cost I paid in 2017. As always, authenticity guaranteed for life. Payment via Paypal F&F or G&S + 3%

    Roman Republic AR Denarius(19.5mm., 4.35g, 6h), anonymous(related to C AL series), 209-208 B.C., Sicilian mint. Helmeted head of Roma right with loop beneath visor; behind, X / The Dioscuri galloping right; below, ROMA in linear frame. Crawford 75/1c; Sydenham 191a; Russo RBW 321

    Ex Naville Numismatics Live Auction 29, 26 February 2017, realized £160(About $233 after fees)

    Note: This is about a third of the price of the example that sold last year at NAC 125 for 600 CHF + Fees(about $780) with surface issues, some flat striking and a bit of the reverse off-flan. The NAC coin is a better coin, but this is a great budget example.
