Roman BI Dbl Denarius Gallienus 253-268 AD XF NGC (Bicknor Hoard)
This ancient Roman double denarius, struck during the turbulent years of 253 to 268 AD, offers a direct connection to the late Roman Empire. Crafted from billon, a low-grade silver alloy, the coin features the right-facing portrait of the emperor Aureolus. His likeness is depicted with a radiate crown, draped shoulders, and protective cuirass armor, reflecting the militaristic styling of the era's coinage. Because these coins were struck using hand-carved dies, the reverse designs vary, showcasing a range of classical themes and deities common to the period. This specific specimen boasts an impressive provenance, having been recovered as part of the famous English Bicknor Hoard. It has been certified in Extra Fine condition, preserving the crisp details of the imperial portrait and the textured surfaces of the ancient metal.
