A.D. 450-457 Marcian Bronze Reduced Follis Main Image

Grade

The coins of Roman emperor Marcian are very scarce and seldom seen. In fact, they're usually missing from most ancient collections. Yet, this important ruler had a major impact on the history of Rome. After becoming emperor, Marcian broke a nearly 30 year imperial policy of buying peace from Attila the Hun &ndash; risking war with Attila's mighty army!

A.D. 1557-1578 King Sebastian Dinheiro Main Image

Own a well-preserved coin minted more than four centuries ago during the 1557-1578 reign of Sebastian, the King of Portugal who led the lastChristian crusade. This tin Dinheiro was struck in the Portuguese colony of Malacca, the main trading port of the Southeast Asian spice islands, when Portugal controlled the lucrative spice trade. The obverse features 3 arrows bound with a bow while the reverse bears an armillary sphere. Raised by Jesuits and extremely devout, King Sebastian believed he was destined to lead a Christian crusade against Muslims in Africa. And in 1578, he led 17,000 Portuguese soldiers into Morocco where he confronted a vastly larger Muslim force. His crusading dream came to an end in a single day when his army suffered a monumental defeat, and Sebastian was last seen leading a charge into enemy lines. Add this historic coin from the last crusader king to your collection!

A.D. 282-283 Carus Bronze Antoninianus Main Image

Elevated to the role of emperor following the death of Probus, Carus initially served as the sole ruler before elevating his sons, Carinus and Numerian, to Augustus in 283.

Christians, frequently persecuted at the time, began celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25th to avoid detection by authorities. Treat someone special to a desirable Very Fine/Extra Fine coin from the &ldquo;Father of Christmas&rdquo;.

A.D. 251-253 Volusian Silver Antoninianus Main Image

Here&#39;s a hard-to-find silver coin of Volusian, a Roman emperor who&#39;s missing from many ancient coin collections. When the Goths ambushed the current emperor during the Danube wars in A.D. 251, Volusian&#39;s father became ruler and he was named Caesar. The pair quickly concluded a deal with the Goths and returned to Rome. There the plague raged, claiming scores of victims, including the co-emperor, and Volusian was quickly elevated to replace him. Asthe father-son team focused their efforts on plague stricken Rome, Persian king Shapur I launched an attack against the eastern provinces, and in the northern frontier, the Goths began invading Roman territory. When Roman governor Aemilianus defeated the Goths, his troops proclaimed him emperor. The emperor and Volusian hurriedly gathered loyal troops and marched north to put the rebellion down. But about 50 miles from the city, their soldiers assassinated them. Because of the short reign of Volusian asco-emperor, his coins are scarce and desirable. Attractive silver pieces in the Very Fine Plus condition offered here are rarely available, so don&#39;t wait to order yours.
