211-208 BC Silver Victoriatus NGC Mint State Obverse

211-208 BC Silver Victoriatus NGC Mint State Reverse

£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.
