Cr-526/2; CRI-329; Syd-1132; RSC-46. Q. Voconius Vitulus, moneyer. Obverse: Laureate head right; lituus to left; Reverse: Bull calf standing left. An excellent portrait type, this posthumous issue of the deified dictator offers good metal for the type along with enchanting toning. Furthering its appeal that much more is the solid centering upon each side. As noted, some bankers' marks are observed on the obverse, but are rather easily overlooked.
