 Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Denarius, 43 B.C. Struck sometime before the creation of the Triumvirate in the autumn of 43 B.C. Bare Antony head r., lituus behind; M. ANTON. IMP. R.P.C. before. Rv. Laureate head of Julius Caesar r., jug behind; CAESAR DIC. before. Craw.488/2, Syd.1166 (R5). Light surface granularity with peripheral deposits. Several deep edge splits are the natural result of striking a prematurely cooling planchet. The portraits are unusually clear for an issue that generally has poorly struck portraits in low relief. Nearly Extremely Fine. (Est. $2,500-$3,000)
