Description

TRAJAN, A.D. 98-117. AE Sestertius (26.23 gms), Rome Mint, A.D. 104/5-107. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
RIC-527. Obverse: Laureate bust right, with slight drapery; Reverse: Victory, with foot on helmet, standing right, holding stylus and resting hand upon shield inscribed VIC/DAC in two lines set upon palm tree, S-C across fields. Very well centered on each side, this lighter brown example presents impressive overall detail including a resounding portrait of the emperor. A minor edge split is noted, but does not interfere with its allure.
From the Wink Jaffee Collection. [Purportedly] Ex: Sir Charles Oman Collection (Christie's - 7/1968).

Estimate: $1000.00- $2000.00
