Our Favorite Ancient Coins

Augustus Silver Denarius

Struck from 27BC to 14AD, the “Butting Bull” Silver Denarius is thought to reference Augustus’s father’s victory near the city of Thurium. With a well-centered strike, this is everything people hope to find in a CHXF denarius.

Silver Denier of the Knights Templar

This Crusader Denier is a particularly interesting and beautiful example of such a sought-after coin, and it is without a doubt the finest we have owned. The coins crusaders carried over 900 years ago, these deniers were often produced by amateurn craftsmen, and many examples are crudely constructed and have not worn well over time. This coin is a truly beautiful piece that would fit in wonderfully in any collection.

Achaemenid Silver Siglos

A beautiful Persian Silver Siglos, this coin brilliantly depicts an advancing king holding a bow and spear. Rated Extremely Fine by NGC, this coin was struck circa 5th century BC, making it a rare and unique option that you’re sure to enjoy.
