Egypt. Alexandria. Nero, 54-68. Obol (Bronze, 20.30 mm, 4.02 g). Dated RY 8 (= 61/2). ΝЄΡ ΚΛΑΥ Κ[ΑΙϹ ϹЄΒ ΓЄΡ] Laureate head of Nero to right. Rev. [Α]ΥΤΟΚΡΑΤ Roma standing front, head to left, holding patera in her right hand and spear and shield in her left; L H in left field. Vogt I, pp. 26-30. Vogt II, p. 9. BMC 186-187. Dattari 278-279 (+ plate XXI). Geissen - . RPC I, 5263. Emmett 154. K&G 14.67. Very Fine. Ex Greenpoint collection. Ex Frank L. Kovacs. Ex CNG, 91, 19 September 2012, lot 707. A very rare coin like all Alexandrian bronzes of Nero. I note that in year 8 of Nerobe's reign (AD 61/62) only divisional bronze coins were minted in Alexandria: obols, dichalkoi and chalkoi (see RPC I 5263-5266); from the images of the reverses (Rome, bust of Alexandria, trophy with or without prisoner) it seems that they refer to a military victory in Britain or Armenia.
