BC 211-208 VB Silver Victoriatus : NGC MS

* Images are of the actual product not stock images

£1,100.00

Roman Republic. An anonymous issue silver Victoriatus, dated between 211-208 BC, with a head of Jupiter facing right to the obverse. The reverse shows the standing figure of Victory placing a wreath on a large trophy. On this coin a ‘VB’ appears in-between the figure and the trophy, which might indicate that it was struck in Vibo Valentia in southern Italy though there is some debate about the meaning here. These silver coins appear at the same as the silver denarius though in a different metal composition and had a weight roughly equivalent to a drachm or half nomos. There was a great need for silver coinage in Rome at the time as the city needed to pay its allies in the Second Punic War. They were primarily used to pay soldiers in Greek-speaking southern Italy. This is a very highly graded example of an interesting Roman coin. An excellent addition to any collection of ancient currency.

Visit our Showroom

We're based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a historic market town in beautiful Wiltshire. If the name rings a bell it’s probably because you remember how the community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' in the name was granted in 2011 to recognise this.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.

What can I say? It was a 5 star service for my second visit to Britannia Coin. I have one gripe in that I like to keep paper copies of all paperwork, but I could not print a decent copy of the order confirmation email. No matter I have the coin and it looks great, a good choice. Highly recommended service, well done chaps.

I like the fact that coins already sold don't clutter-up the website. This is a major annoyance, in many dealers' online lists. Payment is straightforward, and delivery is next-day. That's what customer like.

I ordered the *** £2 Silver Proof colourised version at a very competitive price. I received the coin two days later. The Coin and Certificate of Authenticity were well presented in the Royal Mint Box and nicely wrapped. I cannot fault the service - quite superb.
