This is a beautiful authentic sestertius minted under the reign of the infamous Emperor Nero. He is one of the few emperors that most people are familiar with probably due to the belief that he started the great fires of Rome. He lived from 54-68 until, he committed suicide. His last words are document to be: "Qualis artifex pereo." ("What an artist the world loses in me."). This coin is in great condition for a coin of this size with a great portait of the popular emperor. It still retains most of its attractive olive green patina.
I, Peter A. Piliouras of Ancient Coin Traders irrevocably guarantee for life to the Purchaser that this ancient coin is authentic. If this coin is deemed not to be authentic by a professional certification service, then I will refund to the Purchaser the full cost of acquiring the coin (including shipping) together with the certification fees.
