Description
Nero, (A.D. 54-68), silver denarius, issued c.66-67, Rome mint, (2.89 g), obv. laureate head to right of Nero, around IMP NERO CAESAR AVGVSTVS, rev. Jupiter seated left on throne, holding thunderbolt and sceptre, IVPPITER CVSTOS around, (cf.S.1943, RIC 46, BMC -, RSC 121). A nice example, dull grey patina, very fine and a very rare obverse legend type.
Ex Noble Numismatics Sale 78 (lot 5222) and previously from Gorny & Mosch, Auction Sale 95 March 9, 1999, (lot 728). The issue is in all probability a reference to Nero's deliverance from the conspiracy of C. Calpurnius Piso in A.D. 65.
