Description
Breathtaking Crispus Solidus
Crispus (AD 316-326). AV solidus (20mm, 4.45 gm, 6h). NGC MS★
5/5 - 4/5. Nicomedia, 1st officina, AD 324-325. FL IVL CRIS-PVS
NOB CAES, heroically nude laureate bust of Crispus left, seen from
behind, balteus over right shoulder, shield in left hand,
transverse spear forward in right / VIRTVS-CAESARI N, Crispus
charging on horseback right, shield in left hand, about to spear
with right hand enemy kneeling left before horse, who has thrown
away his shield or is offering it to Crispus; a second enemy lies
left on the ground under the horse, extending his left arm; SMNP in
exergue. RIC VII 84-85 var. (exergual mark) Cohen 164 var. (same).
Depeyrot p. 128, 35/6 var. (same). RIC and Depeyrot list only SMNK
and Γ, with Depeyrot also adding M. Only one other example known
with SMNP in exergue (Gemini II, 11 January 2006, lot 516; Hess-Leu
36, 1968, 558). All specimens show the apparent dative in reverse
legend, CAESARI, which seems grammatically incorrect. One would
expect the genitive case, CAESARIS, for "The Valor of Our Caesar".
Absolutely stunning coin in hand, struck from exceptionally
detailed dies on flashy, lustrous surfaces.Auction Info
