Very Fine grading by NGC, but the coin presumably shows Choice VF+ details, thus UNDER GRADED, in our opinion.Elegant style PERFECT 5/5 STRONG & BOLD STRIKE - EXCELLENT CENTERING - NICE LUSTER - EXCELLENT SURFACES - AMAZING EYE APPEAL This exquisite silver coin comes from Ancient Rome, dating back to 225 AD. Certified by NGC Ancients, this coin is a true treasure for any collector of ancient coins. The detailed design and craftsmanship reflect the era in which it was made. This piece of history would make a valuable addition to any collection. The quadrigatus was the very first silver coin type struck by the Romans. Previous to this the Romans used exclusively bronze coins as their currency. The large cast coins were not as easy for trade. The predecessor to the denarius, the quadrigatus was substantially larger than the denarius and stylistically more similar to the beautiful Greek coins that were being struck. It is suggested that the quadrigatus was used very seldom locally; it was used more outside of Rome for trade.The Janus head on the obverse is a pure Roman symbol and does not exist in Greek culture. The god Janus was meant to symbolize the beginning and end of a conflict, or war and peace. The quadriga found on the reverse of the coin was carried over when the denarius was finally introduced around 211 BC.
