Our Austin Buying Tust just located a small group of these authentic, Philip I Roman Coins which we will now release to our Preferred Collectors in time for Christmas gift giving. The anniversaries of Rome’s founding were held every 100 years or so. The most important celebration of the founding took place in the year 248 when Philip I hosted the Millenary Games to honor the city’s 1000th Anniversary. Honoring Rome’s 1000th Anniversary After signing a treaty with the Persians, Philip I returned home to celebrate the ancient games that were held on a scale rarely seen. The games were highlighted by the assembly of rare animals from all parts of the Roman Empire and great contests were held at the Circus and the Ampitheater. This Silver Coin, of exceptional quality, was minted during this 1000th Anniversary of Rome to commemorate this historic event. Ancient Coin Details The Philip I is not an ordinary Roman coin minted in large quantities for use as money. This ancient coin was carefully designed and issued as a limited edition commemorative struck by hand at the Rome Mint. Each one exhibits the bust of Philip I down to minute details. The reverse is Goddess Annona holding grain in her right hand and a cornucopia in the left. Best of all, each coin we’re offering today is in an exceptional state of preservation that shows off all the fine details. Specifications: • Certified Authentic – Each Philip I Roman Double Denari has been certified authentic and graded by NGC. • Exceptional Quality – We have both Choice Uncirculated and Uncirculated grades available at this time. Coins in these grades have no signs of wear and clearly exhinbt fine details like the hairs in the beard. • High Value – Ancient Coin Collectors will appreciate both the high quality and very affordable price for a Roman Silver Coin minted 1,764 years ago. • New NGC EdgeView® Holder – These are among the first coins of any kind we’ve released in the new NGC holders designed to exhibit the obverse, reverse, and the edges of each coin. (See below) • Limited Double Denarius Issue – Each Philip I in this release is a “Double” Denarius, minted in solid silver by hand, and is larger than a U.S. Nickel. This Philip I commemorative was a limited mintage only from the first half of 244 to the end of September 249 A.D. We present this coin as an extraordinary gift sure to please coin collectors of all ages. We especially appreciate that this coin can also serve as a learning tool to teach ancient Roman history through a collectible that amazingly survived for 1,764 years in pristine, Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Our collectors of Italian heritage are sure to put them away for their children, grandchildren, and future generations because we may never offer these coins again. |
