Description
Nero, (A.D. 54-68), gold aureus, issued c.65-66, Rome mint, (7.262 grams), obv. laureate head to right of Nero, around NERO CAESAR AVGVSTVS, rev. Jupiter seated left on throne, holding thunderbolt and sceptre, IVPPITER CVSTOS around, (S.1930, RIC 52, BMC 67, C.118). A nice example, very fine.
Ex Dr Thompkins, Adelaide, and previously from Baldwin's London, and apparently one of a hoard of 30 found near Naples in 1950. The Issue is in all probability a reference to Nero's deliverance from the conspiracy of C. Calpurnius Piso in A.D. 65.
