Roman | Aureus | Nero| CH-XF-4X4
This impressive gold aureus was issued under Nero, the last emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Ascending the throne at a young age, Nero’s reign is one of the most infamous in Roman history, remembered for both cultural patronage and political turmoil. Despite his controversial legacy, coins from his era stand as enduring witnesses to the grandeur of Rome.
The obverse carries Nero’s laureate portrait, capturing the emperor’s commanding presence and the bold engraving style of the mid-first century. On the reverse, Jupiter, king of the gods, is depicted seated, symbolizing divine authority and the favor of Rome’s most powerful deity. This pairing reflects the emperor’s desire to present himself as chosen and protected by the gods.
Certified by NGC in Choice Fine, with a Strike grade of 4/5 and Surface grade of 4/5, this aureus remains a tangible link to a pivotal chapter of Roman history. As part of the highly sought-after Twelve Caesars Collection, it is appealing to advanced Roman gold collectors.
