Ancient Roman gold coins and rare medallion

"Among the many magnificent ancient coins in the NYINC auction," noted Cristiano Bierrenbach, Heritage's Director of International Sales, "are a pair of coins graded as "Fleur de Coin" – a French phrase meaning 'absolutely perfect in every way.' This denotes a coin that is not only technically uncirculated, but appears as fresh as the day it was minted. The earlier of the pair is a gold Roman Imperial Aureus of Lucius Verus, minted 161-169 A.D.; NGC has graded it as 'Gem Uncirculated – F.D.C.'"
