ORC7524 Nero, unpublished semis VF

Nero, Æ Semis, N[ERO CLAVDIVS] CAESAR AVG GERM IMP P P, bare head right. /
Retrograde legend, VICTORIA AVGVSTI Victoria, personifying victory,
standing on globe holding wreath and palm. Balkan Mint, perhaps Perinthos,
(5.46gm.). RIC -; RPC -; Hunter -; BMC - VF, dark olive-brown patina -- and
unpublished!

The 12:00 die axis, flan, and patina identify this as a product of the
Balkan Mint. This same mint produced the sestertii of Britannicus and Nero
Caesar a decade earlier. As with many other types from this mint, the
reverse is taken from another coin, in this case the Victory standing
dupondii.
