■ Highlights

Rarity
Only 141 pieces have been graded!
Of those, only 25 pieces hold the even rarer "GEM MS" grade.

This coin commemorates the Roman Empire’s victory over the Parthian Empire and the reclamation of the Armenian Kingdom. Being a commemorative gold coin, the mintage was limited, contributing to its exceptional rarity.

Notably, among the Lucius Verus gold coins, over 80% feature the crowned ("laureate") portrait. However, this coin showcases the far rarer "bareheaded" type, making it an extraordinarily valuable piece that exudes imperial dignity.

High-quality Aureus gold coins with such rarity are virtually nonexistent, making them highly prized collectibles. These coins are rarely offered for sale, and when they are, they quickly vanish due to their immense appeal among collectors.

Condition

• Strike and Surface: Both received perfect 5/5 scores—the highest possible grades.
• Grade: Ch MS (Mint State), signifying a superb uncirculated condition.
  "Ch" (Choice) denotes coins with exceptional quality even within the Mint State category.
• Awarded Fine Style:
  • This designation highlights the coin’s exceptional artistry, recognizing its aesthetic excellence beyond the usual grading metrics.

Preserving such an outstanding condition for over 1,800 years is nothing short of miraculous.

Market Appeal
Coins from the Roman Empire are valued not just as currency but as significant historical artifacts and cultural relics. They are revered for their artistic and historical significance.
