193 NGC Ch VF Septimius Severus Roman Empire Rare Alexandria Mint Denarius Apollo Coin (21091504C)

$650.00

  • Choice Very Fine Roman Empire silver denarius coin.
  • Rare type struck for Emperor Septimius Severus at the Alexandria Mint.
  • Minted 193/4 CE, RIC 345 (rated as Rare), 2.59g.
  • Certified by NGC to Ch VF, Strike 4/5, Surface 3/5.
  • The attribution to the Alexandria mint is annotated by NGC with a question mark. However stylistic similarities with concurrently issued Roman Egyptian drachms and tetradrachms make this attribution a certainty.  The style of the emperor's head (eyes, beard and mustache) match the drachm/tetradrachm coinage.
  • Obverse: IMP CAE L SEPT SEV PERT AVG, laureate head right. 
  • Reverse: APOLLINI AVGVSTO, Apollo standing left holding patera and lyre.
  • Apollo was the god of music, truth and prophecy.
