Claudius. AD 41-54. Denarius (Silver, 3.66 g 4), 50-54. TI CLAVD CAESAR AVG GERM P M TRIB POT P P Laureate head of Claudius to right. Rev. AGRIPPINAE AVGVSTAE Draped bust of Agrippina Minor to right, wearing grain wreath. BMC 75. BN 82. Cohen 4. RIC 81. A magnificent, toned example with splendid portraits in high relief. Some slight porosity, otherwise, good extremely fine.


From a Swiss private collection.

This is a particularly fine example of the type, and the wonderful surfaces and toning suggests that it comes from an old collection, very possibly English. It certainly does not show any trace of the over-cleaning so prevalent today.
