                                Description

     Coin was minted in 219 AD, during the reign of Elagabalus, who
     ruled from 218-222 AD. Berytus is known today as Beirut.
     Elagabalus was a priest of the sun-god Elagabalus, and this is
     the source of the name that this emperor is best known by today.
     His reign was notable for its cruelty, bloodshed, religious
     fanaticism, and excesses of every description, and there was
     general satisfaction when he was murdered on March 6, 222. The
     obverse of this type depicts the laureate and draped bust of
     Elagabalus facing right, with legends IMP.ANTONINVS.AVG. The
     reverse type features Liberalitas standing front, head left,
     holding abacus and cornucopiae set on base. The legends read
     LIBERALITAS.AVG.II. Coin was minted to commemorate the second
     donative of the reign of Elagabalus, held to mark his safe return
     to Rome. Coin is struck a bit off center, but otherwise grades
     VF, with bold devices and legends where struck up. A nice example
     of the type, catalouged as RSC-79. All coins guaranteed genuine
     without restrictions. 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.
