Nero, as Caesar, 26.44 gr. Struck AD 51 under Claudius, Mint in Thrace. 

Obv: NERONI CLAVDIO DRVSO GERMANICO COS DESIGN, bare head right. 
Rev: EQVESTER-OR DO-PRINCIPI-IVVENT in four lines on a round 
shield with a vertical spear behind it.

RIC 108 [Claudius]; Cohen 99; Sear 1920.

valued by David Sear at $12,000.00 but at the time, only 
FOUR specimens were known to exist. Since then, several 
more specimens have been found in the Balkans, so that 
Sear's valuation is no longer accurate. However, this 
coin type is still rare and valuable.
