Description

ROMAN REPUBLIC. L. Memmius Galeria. AR Denarius Serratus (3.85 gms), Rome Mint, 106 B.C. NGC Ch MS★. Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.
Cr-313/1c; Syd-547a. Obverse: ROMA, laureate head of Saturn left; harpa to right; Reverse: Venus, holding scepter and reins, driving biga right; above, Cupid flying left, holding wreath; E to lower right; in two lines in exergue, L MEMMI / GAL. One of the most attractive--if not the most attractive--examples of the type which this cataloger has seen, the present specimen is truly for the connoisseur. The strike is bold and expertly centered, while the metal is free of impurities or distractions, and the toning wholly entertains the eye, featuring deep gray surfaces vibrantly enlivened by hues of magenta and cobalt. Worthy of intense in-hand inspection and enthusiastic bidding.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
