OTHO, A.D. 69. AR Denarius (2.91 gms), Rome Mint. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 3/5.
RIC-24; RSC-7. Obverse: Bare head right; Reverse: Vesta seated left, holding patera and transverse scepter. A splendid example that provides a bold and expressive portrait of Otho, this piece retains some soft brilliance and is rather well struck on the flan. A touch of granularity and a flan crack likely makes the surface subgrade, but this piece avoids any fault of major concern.
From the Jones Collection.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
