     head of Gaius Caesar(?) right. RPC 3229; von Aulock, Phrygiens II
     719-22. Fine, brown patina. One of only five known specimens, and
     the only one available privately! 716258

     Ex Alex G. Malloy Auction XLIII (31 May 1996), lot 285.

     Although the reverse portrait has traditionally been attributed
     to Gaius Caesar, it is not certain, and lacking that, it becomes
     impossible to precisely date this little coin. There exist only
     four other specimens of this type, in Berlin (Staatliche Museen,
     Imhoof-Bloomer Collection), Cambridge (Fitzwilliam Museum),
     Oxford (Ashmolean Museum) and Vienna (Kunsthistorisches Museum),
     making this the only specimen available to collectors.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
    for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.
