Michael Stolt Posted October 7, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 7, 2022 Won this gorgeous Victoriatus at CNG 121 today after a tip from @red_spork. Funny enough, even though I have collected Roman Republican for several years, this is the first Victoriatus I add to the collection. It was misattributed in the auction as an RRC 53/1, but is in fact an RRC 83/1b - the rare unsigned variation of the scarce spearhead series. It is in very good quality for the type, very happy with it. Roman Republic. 211-210 BC. AR Victoriatus (19mm, 9h). Minted in South-East Italy. Obverse: Laureate head of Jupiter right. Reverse: Victory standing right, crowning trophy with wreath; RoMA in exergue. Reference: Crawford 83/1b. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapphnwn Posted October 8, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2022 To @Michael Stolt Great coin I love the Victoriatus, it is a fun coin. It has a bit of mystery which makes it a bit of a puzzle one that may in time be solved. Ar Victoriatus "VB" Unknown mint 211-208 BC Obv. Head of jupiter right laureate. Rv Victory standing right crowning military trophy Crawford 95/1b RBW 390 3.51 grms 16 mm Photo by W. Hansen The VB monogram on this coin should be offering us a clue but so far no luck. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
