This expertly crafted modern restrike faithfully replicates a historically significant Roman Imperial sestertius, originally issued under Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD). The obverse side prominently features a finely detailed portrait of Claudius Caesar Augustus, recognized by historians for his ambitious public works and notable expansion of Roman infrastructure. His authoritative depiction, encircled by the Latin legend "TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP", symbolizes the emperor’s supreme authority over the vast Roman Empire during its early Imperial era. On the reverse, the coin magnificently depicts the seated figure of Ceres Augusta, the revered Roman goddess of agriculture, fertility, and prosperity. Her regal portrayal, surrounded by the clear inscription "CERES AVGVSTA S C", references the Senate’s approval ("Senatus Consulto") for this important emission. Coins depicting Ceres celebrated Rome’s agricultural abundance, serving as symbols of imperial benevolence and stability. This restrike presents collectors with an accessible opportunity to own and admire a coin reflecting one of Rome's most prosperous periods.
