                     Antoninus Pius Denarius as Caesar

            Attribution:
            Similiar to RSC1065, minted 2/25/138 to 7/10/138 AD

            Obverse :
            'IMP. T. AEL. CAES. ANTONINVS' with his bare head
            right.
            Reverse :
            'TRIB. POT COS.' Female figure standing, head
            right, holding a patera.
            Grade :
            aF/aF
            Notes :
            An interesting coin minted from the time Antoninus
            was adopted by emperor Hadrian in late February 138
            until the death of Hadrian July 10th, 138. during
            this period, Antoninus was most likely the sole
            ruler due to the severe illness of Hadrian. On the
            death of Hadrian, Antoninus immediately petitioned
            the Senate to deify Hadrian. It was for this reason
            that Antoninus was awarded the title of 'Pius'. It
            is unusual to find a Roman Imperial coin that can
            be dated so precisely.

            The coin is worn, especially on the reverse and
            exhibits some scratching on the obverse. But it is
            a good example for the type and makes an
            interesting, dated coin for the Roman Imperial
            collector.
