VC108 Geta Denarius. VERY RARE Occurrence of Janus on an Imperial Type. Sharp VF

Whereas Janus is ubiquitous on Roman Republican bronzes, the god appears extremely rarely on Imperial coinage. Here he is on a denarius of Geta. This coin was struck the year of Geta's death - unfortunately there would be no looking ahead for the hapless younger brother of Caracalla. Curtis Clay considers the coin only scarce, citing the Reka Devnia hoard specimen counts, 14 in Sofia, plus 5 in Varna. But try and find one.
