Offered is a silver ‘Nobilitas’ type Denarius, struck in 199 at Rome in the name of Geta as Caesar, Cear#7184, RIC#13a, BMCRE#197, RSC#90. This piece features the ever-popular ‘young’ portrait of Geta (he would age quite suddenly on his coins after becoming Augustus), surrounded by the inscription P SEPT GETA CAES PONT. This example generally well-struck and retaining good detail, further benefitting from an ‘old’ medium grey patina. In all, a very wholesome example with plenty of eye-appeal.
