Ancient, British and World Coins, Tokens, Historical Medals and Banknotes

Denarius, 3.7gms, RSR issue, bust, laureate, draped and cuirassed right, reverse concordia (avg), clasped hands, in ex: rsr (RIC 545, RIC 14). Rare, very fine (£600-700)

The RSR mint mark which was originally attributed to the Naval base of Rutupiae (Richborough, Kent) was later thought to be the initials of a Government financial department. It is now thought to be a continuation of the Virgil tags found on other coins and medallions and means that the golden age has returned.
