Claudius, AD 41-54. AR Denarius minted at Rome, AD 50-51. Laureate head right of Claudius. Reverse: Inscription within oak-wreath. RIC 60 [as R3]. Excellent portrait. Choice Very Fine.

It was around the time that this denarius was minted that Nero became heir to the Purple. Just a few years later, Claudius was mysteriously poisoned, perhaps by Agrippina Junior, and her son Nero was elevated to emperor.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,300.
