   Description

     Coin was minted between 167 and 168 AD, during the reign of
     Marcus Aurelius, who ruled from 161-180. The reign of Aurelius
     was troubled by many frontier wars, and by a devestating plague
     that was brought back by soldiers returning from the Parthian
     war. He is perhaps best known for his Stoic philosophy, and as
     the author of "The Meditations", which Aurelius wrote while
     campaigning against the Germans. The obverse of this type depicts
     the laureate head of Aurelius facing right, with legends
     M.ANTONINVS.AVG.ARM.PARTH.MAX. The reverse features Providentia
     standing left, holding sceptre and wand over globe, with legends
     TR.P.XXI.IMP.IIII.COS.III. Coin shows light hairlines, but
     otherwise grades a nice AVF, with clear devices and legends all
     around, and a nice portrait. A pleasing example of the type,
     catalouged as RSC-881. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. Visa/MC accepted for purchases of $20 or more. For more
