The Aurelianianus was a bimetallic coin introduced during the Roman Empire’s third century, representing an ambitious attempt at monetary reform during a period of severe economic instability. Created under Emperor Aurelian around 274 AD, this denomination combined a bronze core with a silver-enriched surface coating, typically containing approximately five percent silver content. This unique Roman coin has an impressive 5/5 strike designation and is certified in Mint State condition by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, the Roman Empire Probus BI Aurelianianus Coin is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Roman Empire Probus BI Aurelianianus Coin is a bimetallic specimen known during the Roman Era as an electrum coin, indicating a metallic alloy of gold, silver, and bronze. This coin earned an NGC Ancient Mint State grade, indicating it falls between 60 and 62 on the Sheldon Numeric Scale. You will find mostly untoned, satin-like fields with a sharp strike, silver-gray visuals, and subtle luster. The coin’s strike earned a 5/5 grade, while the surface earned a 4/5 grade. Strike and surface grades reference both the original quality and centering of the design strike, as well as the current condition of the surface visuals.
Between 276 and 282 AD, the Aurelianianus continued to circulate as a primary denomination following Aurelian’s assassination, serving successive emperors during this transitional period. The coin maintained its bimetallic composition and standard weight, though the quality and silver content could vary depending on the mint and the specific year of production. This period saw the Aurelianianus used extensively in military payments and commercial transactions across the empire.
During Probus’s reign from 276 to 282 AD, the Roman Empire Probus BI Aurelianianus featured distinctive reverse designs celebrating military victories and virtues such as Providentia, Pax, and Virtus. Probus’s portrait on the obverse typically showed the emperor wearing a radiate crown, the hallmark feature distinguishing this denomination from the smaller denarius.
