Claudius. AD 41-54. Æ Sestertius (33mm, 20.34 g, 6h). Contemporary imitation of a Rome mint issue of AD 41-42. Laureate head right / Spes advancing left, holding up flower and raising hem of skirt. Cf. RIC I 99; cf. von Kaenel Type 55. Brown-green patina, some red, heavily tooled. VF.

From the Toliver Besson Collection. Ex Gasvoda Collection (Part II, Numismatica Ars Classica 94, 6 October 2016), lot 109, purchased at an Ancient Coin Collectors Guild Benefit Auction.

One of the most often imitated bronze coins of the early empire is this issue from Claudius. The imitation type is relatively common and found with a wide degree of artistic styles. These coins were clearly accepted in commerce and traded freely. The wear on the example here is a testament to that fact.
