malamute67 Valued Member Spain 319 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 4:07 pm This is my new coin-Cn. Statilius Libo, prefect. Uncertain mint in Spain, Mid to late 1st century BC. Obv: Bare head of Libo right; CN. STATI. LIBO before, [P]RAEF behind. Rx: Patera and capis, SACERDOS in exergue. RPC 483. SNG Copenhagen 471. VF. " RARE PORTRAIT COIN OF GOVERNOR CNAEUS STATILIA LIBO, (under Augustus). SPAIN, Cartago Nova? 27 BC-14 AD. AE 22mm (7.7 gm). CN. STATI. LIBO PRAEF, bare head of Roman Governor Cnaeus Statilia Libo right / SACERDOS in exergue, priestly implements patera and capis. RPC I 483; Burgos 449. VF. Rare. Much better than photo in the hand. This coin is very special because it features a portrait of a living person who was not a member of the Imperial family. Cnaeus Statilia Libo was governor of Spain under Augustus and was allowed the unusual honor of placing his image on local coinage. For those who are collecting a Roman portrait gallery, this is an opportunity to acquire a tremendous rarity. A very elusive type for those attempting to assemble a collection of all possible Roman portrait coins. "(Edgar L. Owen, Ltd.)
