Details

Struck in Rome, in the name of C.Naevius Balbus. Beautiful copy, well centered on both sides, with a pretty portrait of Venus and a fine style reverse. Pleasant gray patina. The representation of the trige is rare on the coinage of the Republic. To control the right corners, in the Latin alphabet, is added the numbering from I to CCXXX (230).
