The quality of conservation of the engraving is excellent. For this type of coin, destined to circulate frequently, it is very rare to find such coins with so few traces of circulation, especially on the portrait. There is a hole in the flan at the level of the observe caption, partially removing the \"GERM\", and the reverse has been damaged by old corrosion which has been removed. \r\nThis has removed a large part of the design on the reverse, which illustrates Claudius' military achievements and victories in conquest. The scene depicts Claudius seated on a curule chair, itself resting on the arms of the vanquished. Oval shields, armour, spears and a helmet can all be seen, signifying his victories, possibly over the Thracians or the British peoples: two territories annexed by Rome during Claudius' reign. \r\nOn the one hand, this coin celebrates Claudius' father, Drusus, bringing with him a prestigious lineage: Drusus was Augustus' grandson by adoption from Tiberius, but it also celebrates Claudius' military skills in managing and fighting in the empire's frontier territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eNERO CLAVDIVS DRVSVS GERMANICVS IMP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eTI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR P IMP P P S C\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e29.53 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47343012512076,"sku":"1272044","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/products\/1272044A.jpg?v=1699970299","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1272044-nero-claudius-drusus-sestertius-50-54-rome-bronze-au-50-53-ric-109","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
