Roman Empire AR Double Denarius Volusian (251-253 AD) Ch VF NGC
During a turbulent period of the third century, the Roman Empire issued silver double denarii to circulate throughout its vast territories. This particular ancient coin dates from the years 251 to 253 AD, representing the short reign of Emperor Volusian. Minted in silver, the piece offers a direct connection to the monetary system of the late empire. One side of the coin features a right-facing portrait bust of Emperor Volusian. The opposite side is struck with representations of traditional Roman gods or goddesses, a common thematic choice for the coinage of this era to project divine favor and stability. This specimen has survived the centuries in remarkable condition, certified by professional authenticators as Choice Very Fine.
