                                Description

                     Classical Cash and Henri Delger's
              Old Roman Coins for Special Collectors present:

                     [Look at THIS!]   [Look at THIS!]

                  HD: Young Nero, gold aureus, gVF, toned

     Nero, AV aureus, (7.64g) Lugdunum Mint, NERO CAESAR AVG IMP Bare
     head right / PONTIF MAX TR P VI COS III P P Wreath containing EX
     S C. Good VF, attractively centered, with reddish tone
     characteristic of the Bosco Real hoard. An attractive aureus from
     the last issue before the weight-standard reduction, and
     subsequent melting of earlier aureii.

     The reddish toning around the devices and legends is typical of
     coins identified as from the Bosco Real hoard. This hoard of
     aureii, and silver plate, was found in the 18th century in a
     villa buried by the eruption of 79 AD. The hot gasses of the
     eruption left the hoard with an unusual reddish tone. The silver
     plate can be seen in the Louvre.
