Roman Imperial ae Sestertius Coin of Trajan ,Pax Obverse: IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM PM. Laureate bust right wearing aegis Reverse: TR POT COS […], Pax seated left, holding branch and scepter This is a very fine and scarce sestertius of Trajan found in the Republic of San Marino. It weighs 25.4 grams and is 34 millimeters wide. T isn't much patina on this one and t are several surface cracks on the obverse of the coin. Nevertheless, the detail is oustanding on this large authentic sestertius. Don't miss out it. Tater During the coinage reform of Augustus, the denomination of sestertius was introduced as the large brass denomination. The sestertius was produced as the largest ae denomination until the late third century AD.Orichalcum was considered, by weight, to be worth about double that of bronze which is why the half-sestertius, better known as the dupondius was around the same size and weight as the bronze as but was worth two asses.Sestertius coins continued to be struck until the late third century.IF YOUR FEEDBACK SCORE IS 1 OR LOWER YOU MUST CONTACT TATER IN ADVANCE BEFORE BIDDING OR YOUR BID WILL BE CANCELLED.
