Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

Elagabalus (AD 218-222) (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus), silver Antoninianus, Rome, undated, IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, rev. VICTOR ANTONINI AVG, Victory advancing right, holding wreath and palm, 4.96g, 12h (RIC V, II. 155). Good strike, on a broad flan, attractive old cabinet-tone, extremely fine.
RIC notes the reverse type celebrates the restoration of power to the 'Antonine' family, to which Elagabalus claimed to belong, after the interlude tenure of Macrinus and Diadumenian. If that is the case, and it seems likely, although the coin is undated it's tempting to assign this issue to the beginning of Elagabalus's reign.
The obverse legend IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS AVG translates to "Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus."
The reverse legend VICTOR ANTONINI AVG translates to "The victory of Antoninus Augustus."
