This striking example of late Republican propaganda coinage, struck to celebrate Caesar’s victories and political ascendancy; the reverse dramatically depicts an elephant trampling a serpent, symbolizing Caesar's triumph over his enemies and the overcoming of chaos, with the legend CAESAR present below. This particular piece, graded NGC VF 4/3 shows moderate wear consistent with circulation but retains clear major devices and legends, strong overall strike for its grade, and attractive silver tone.
