This coin is very difficult to find in nice condition. This is a very fine example for the issue. MSG.

Macer had also issued coins with the portrait of Caesar. Here the obverse portrait of Antony, bearded and veiled is clearly portraying him in mourning over the loss of Julius Caesar. This is the first appearance of Antony on coinage. He would not be honored by the Rome mint again until after the formation of the second triumvirate. MSG.
