Prijsbieding

Bust of Maximus Caesar (?), bareheaded, right., Fides, standing, left, between two standards., A very interesting and very rare coin, it imitates the observe types of coins issued by Maximinus Thrax for his son C, Julius Verus Maximus, known as Maximus Caesar, His types are very rare, especially for the silver coinages, Associated with this portrait, which it is uncertain if belonged to Maximus Caesar, we find a type of reverse that was extremely classic during the period known as the "military crisis", that of Fides surrounded by two standards, symbolising the loyalty of the Roman troops to the emperor, This "barbarian" imitation, a Celtic contemporary imitation, perhaps later, after 238, is apparently a "sauced" coin, i,e, a bronze flan dipped in silver to give it the aspect of real silver coin, It is in a superb style with abstract designs features typical for imitations from this period, A truly exceptional coin for its rarity and beauty, Several small spots of corrosion are visible on the flan, obverse and reverse, , IVL VERVS MAXIMVS CAES, FIDES MILITVM
