56BC C. Memmius Silver Deanrius – gEF & Scarce
Superb high-grade Denarius for C. Memmius, struck in 56 B.C
The depiction on the reverse side of the coin showcases the goddess Ceres, holding her grain ears and a torch, with a serpent at her feet. This imagery clearly alludes to her pivotal role in bestowing Rome with abundant harvests, thus exerting a stabilizing influence.
Graded as good Extremely Fine, and Scarce as thus, boasting attractive light toning with golden hues, masses of eye appeal!
