Description
Anonymous issue, (86 B.C.), silver denarius, Rome mint, (3.50 grams), obv. laureate head of Apollo to right, thunderbolt below, rev. Jupiter in quadriga to right, (S.266, RSC 226, Cr.350A/2, Syd.723). Holed for suspension, otherwise toned, very fine.
Ex Charles E. Weber collection and Triton VII auction, lot 1357 (part). With detailed collector’s tickets. Whilst this coin is connected stylistically with the signed denarii of Gargonius, Ogulnius and Vergilius the reason for this extremely late anonymous issue is unclear.
