💵DIVUS JULIUS CAESAR-OCTAVIAN-38 BC-28mm/12.60g-SESTERTIUS-ITALY-F-T_G

Description: This is an opportunity to own a nice piece of history minted in 38 BC. This is a genuine coin of Julius Caesar and Octavian, struck in bronze, and in the exact condition you see pictured. It is catalogued as RPC 620a. RPC only shows 8 specimens of this variation. This piece was struck under the authority of Octavian (who later became Augustus). Octavian was the great-nephew of Julius Caesar. Octavian issued coins describing himself as the son of the divine Julius Caesar. It was strategic because in doing so, he promoted a link between Caesar's "divinity" and himself. He also emphasized his blood relationship to Julius Caesar and thus his legal claim as his heir. This was important in the early years of his reign. This coin features Octavian on the obverse and divus Julius Caesar on the reverse. This is a coin that has been widely sought after by collectors for years. It is a chance to own one that is guaranteed for life as authentic. Grading coins is subjective. I would grade this coin as a strong F and possibly a CH F because the legens are so bold and clear.
