Julius Caesar (100–44 BC) is one of the most celebrated figures ever depicted on Roman coinage, but it is important to note a key historical distinction: Caesar did not issue coins bearing his own portrait during his lifetime in the traditional sense. He was, in fact, among the first living Romans to appear on the coinage of Rome, a practice that had previously been reserved for deceased ancestors or divine figures. This Roman Imperial Julius Caesar AR Denarius has a Choice Very Fine certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Today, the Roman Imperial Julius Caesar AR Denarius Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Following Caesar’s assassination on March 15, 44 BC, his successors, particularly Mark Antony and later Augustus (Octavian), issued denarii bearing Caesar’s portrait posthumously. These coins often bore the legend DIVVS IVLIVS (“The Divine Julius”), reflecting his formal deification by the Roman Senate in 42 BC. These posthumous issues are more commonly encountered by collectors today than the lifetime issues.
This Roman Imperial Julius Caesar AR Denarius comes with a Choice Very Fine grade from the NGC, as well as 4/5 and 3/5 grades for its strike and surface conditions, respectively. The 4/5 strike grade indicates above-average design strikes, with visual strength and good centering. The 3/5 surface grade indicates a coin with average condition, with modest signs of wear and tear from handling.
On the obverse of the Roman Imperial Julius Caesar AR Denarius, you will find a bust of Caesar. The well-defined portrait is encircled by a beaded border, with a dark-gray or black patina on the field. The reverse features a design with military symbols and showcases silver-gray patina with a subtle, satin-like luster.
