Bare head right / Venus standing right, seen from back, holding transverse scepter and helmet, resting on column to left; to left, shield with star motif set on ground, leaning against column. CRI 395; RIC I 250a; RSC 62. Lightly toned, light scratches. VF.

One of only six examples found on Coin Archives, this rare type is only seen struck off center, as here. This coin is rather complete compared to the other known examples. A nice opportunity to acquire a rare type in the Octavian/Augustus corpus of denarii!
