$29.00
08/10/99,

     This piece was minted in the name of Geta Caesar, who served
     under his father, Septimius Severus, from 198-209 AD. 
The obverse of this
     piece depicts the boy's draped bust of Geta facing right, with
     legends P.SEPT.GETA.CAES.PONT. The reverse features Geta in
     military dress standing half-left, holding branch and reversed
     spear, with legends PRINC.IVVENT. Coin shows a flan crack at K-5
     of the reverse, but otherwise grades a nice VF, with bold devices
     and clear to bold legends all around. A very nice example of the
     type, catalouged as RSC-159.
