Tiberius, AD 14-37. AR Denarius, mint of Lugdunum. Laureate head of Tiberius, right. Reverse: Female figure (Livia?) seated right on chair with plain legs, holding long sceptre in right hand and branch in left. RIC 26; BMC 34. Large flan and delicately toned. Extremely Fine/Very Fine.

This coin type, the "Tribute Penny" of Biblical fame minted under Tiberius, is the only type of denarius seen with any frequency portraying this emperor. Well-circulated examples and pieces with faults abound; choice examples such as this specimen are quite scarce.
Estimated Value $700 - 900.

 
Realized $661
