A dynasty in silver.
Not just an Augustus denarius — but one of the defining propaganda coins of the early Roman Empire. Featuring the youthful portraits of Gaius and Lucius Caesar, heirs to Augustus and symbols of the future of Rome, this famous Lugdunum issue became one of the most recognisable denarii of antiquity.
A type that tells a story:
• Augustus consolidating the new Empire
• The Julio-Claudian dynasty taking shape
• Two princes destined for greatness — both dying before their father
This example retains an unusually elegant portrait of Augustus, with strong legends and a beautifully balanced reverse. Certified by NGC as Choice VF with a full 5/5 strike.
