JULIUS CAESAR. AR Denarius (3.86 gms), Rome Mint; L. Livineius Regulus, moneyer, 42 B.C. NGC Ch EF★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5. Fine Style.
Cr-494/24; CRI-115; Syd-1106. Obverse: Wreathed head right; laurel branch to left, winged caduceus to right; Reverse: Bull charging right. This RARE type is boldly struck and well centered on a flan of pristine metal. Better centered than most examples of the issue, this piece has all the devices and legends on the flan. Strong luster is thoroughly retained, and there is just a hint of smoky toning at 3 o'clock on the obverse. One of the more engaging emissions in the entirety of the Imperatorial period.
