Julius Caesar

Denarius; Crawford 458/1 var!

MINT MOVING WITH CAESAR IN NORTH AFRICA: 14, 47BCE. Head of Venus (rt.) wearing diadem. Aeneas bearing Anchises on rev. (as 458/1), but this is an astounding, unrecorded variant of Cr. 458 with Caesar’s name misspelled “CASAR.” Near mint state, and a phenomenal rarity that ought to be priceless but of course, nothing is. The war coinage for Caesar’s campaign against the largest concentration of his opponents climaxing in victory at Thapsus (April, 46 B. C.). Item #363
