Sallent New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 3:36 pm I want to share with you all what is perhaps my most priced coin. This is the coin that broke with tradition and set the pattern for 400+ years of imperial coinage. Minted shortly before his death, it depicts a beautiful portrait bust of the man himself, and a striking Venus reverse. This is a humble VF and it does have a banker's mark, but it is still special to me. I purchased it from a dealer who is also a member of another ancient coins forum, for quite a decent price. The Caesarians. Julius Caesar. January-February 44 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.9 g, 9h). Rome mint. L. Aemilius Buca, moneyer.

NorthSideTy Valued Member Canada 204 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 4:42 pm Wow! Congrats on the beautiful coin I'm hoping to get a Julius Caesar denarius one day. Wishful thinking.. For now, I'm going to have to stick with my AE coin. Its off centered and porous but there's a decent bust and you can make out some of the legend! On the plus side...I picked it up for pocket change. Octavian and Divus Julius Caesar, 38 BC Æ (30 mm , 12,16 g) Southern Italian mint. Bare head of Octavian right; DIVI F behind, CAESAR before / Wreathed head of Divus Julius Caesar right; DIVOS before, IVLIVS behind. Crawford 535/1; Cheers, Ty.
