                                Description

     This piece was minted after 45 BC, under Sextus Pompey, who was
     the son of Pompey the Great by his third wife Mucia. He fought
     along with his brother against Caesar at Munda, and managed to
     escape with his life. After Caesar's death, he gathered a fleet,
     became master of the Mediterranean, and seized Sicily. He was
     eventually defeated by the fleet of Octavian, and fled from
     Sicliy to Asia, where he was taken prisoner and executed in 35
     BC. The obverse of this piece depicts a laureate Janiform head
     with the features of Pompey the Great, with ligatured legend MAGN
     above. The reverse features the prow of a galley right, with
     legends PIVS above, and IMP below. Coin shows a little mottling
     of the green patina at right, but otherwise grades a nice AVF,
     with clear devices and legends all around, and nice green patina.
     A very attractive example of this scarce imperatorial type,
     catalouged as Sear 348. All coins guaranteed genuine without
     limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on
     clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN.
