Offered is a high-grade example of the Victory-type (VICTORIA AVG) silver Antoninianus issued at Rome under the reign of Emperor Trajan Decius in 250AD, Sear#9387, RIC#29c, RSC#113a, Hunter#13. Other than being fully struck and well-centred on an chunky planchet (indeed, at over 4g, this example is slightly overweight for the issue), this piece retains near as struck detail, as well as considerable lustre. In particular, the portrait (surrounded by inscription IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG) is strong for an Antoninianus of this reign. A very satisfying, choice example for the discerning collector.
