This coin has seen better days but when I saw it I had to have it, Obverse, Diademed head of Venus right, Reverse, Aeneas fleeing Troy carrying a Palladium and his elderly father. Coin is 16mm and 3.05g and was minted in Africa c. BC 47. I suppose Caesar would be happy that his coins finally made it into the hands of a pleb.

It looks someone did a terrible job trying to clean this coin. I have one of these with fine toning on it. Venus is depicted very beautifully.
