It's rarer than the RIC rating of S would indicate - OCRE has no examples and I saw none on acsearch (there's a coin listed as RIC 220 which appears twice, but it has a radiate head). Ruler: Nero (Augustus) Coin: Brass As NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERMANIC - Laureate head right GENIO AVGVSTI - Genius, his waist draped, standing half-left, sacrificing from patera over lighted altar with right hand, left hand holding cornucopiae Exergue: http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/spacer.gif http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/spacer.gif http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/symbols/imperial/symbol9.gif Mint: Rome (64 AD) Wt./Size/Axis: 7.20g / - / 6h Rarity: S References: RIC 220 Provenances: Ex.
