Description

                     [Look at THIS!]   [Look at THIS!]

                      Antoninus Pius, gold aureus, VF

     Antoninus Pius, AV aureus, (5.78g with mount) Rome Mint, struck
     148/9 AD, ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XII Laureate head right,
     drapery visible at neck / COS IIII Aequitas standing, head left,
     holding scales and cornucopia. RIC177b. VF, clipped, in Victorian
     era bezel.

     Aequitas symbolizes fairness of the emperor. The reign of
     Antoninus Pius was part of the Pax Romana, a time of relative
     stability and prosperity in the interior of the empire. While
     aureii (a gold coin equal to 25 denarii) were roughly the same
     diameter as denarii, they weighed about 2.5 times as much and
     were valued at the traditional standard of 10 times their weight
     in silver. The obverse die is in typical high relief.
