                                Description

     This piece was minted between 152 and 153 AD, during the reign of
     Antoninus Pius, who ruled from 138-161 AD. The reign of Antoninus
     is a virtual blank in the history books, owing to the stability
     and prosperity that Rome enjoyed during these years. He was the
     personification of Rome's golden age, which reached its zenith
     under his rule. The obverse of this piece depicts the laureate
     head of Antoninus facing right, with legends
     ANTONINVS.AVG.PIVS.P.P.TR.P.XVI. The reverse features Fortuna
     standing right, holding rudder on globe and cornucopiae, with
     legend COS.IIII. Coin grades a nice VF, with bold devices and
     legends all around, a bold attractive portrait, and even a bit of
     the original lustre still evident. A very nice example of the
     type, catalouged as RSC-270. 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. For more ancients, please visit our WWW site at
