Roman Silver Denarius Serratus Winged Mercury (82 BC) Ch XF
Dating back to approximately 82 BC, this silver Denarius Serratus offers a remarkable window into the artistic and narrative traditions of the Roman Republic. This ancient coin is distinguished by its serrated edge, a specific manufacturing style of the era, and has survived over two millennia to be graded as Choice Extra Fine. One side of the coin features the draped bust of Mercury, the messenger god, recognizable by his winged cap, or petasus. On the other side, the design portrays a famous moment of homecoming, depicting Ulysses traveling on foot and reaching out toward his loyal dog. This silver issue weighs 3.70 grams and was minted under the authority of C. Mamilius Limetanus, preserving a classic story in precious metal.
