Graded AU by NGC Ancients. This nearly two thousand year old collectible has survived in high-grade mainly due to the fact that it was buried in very dry, chalky soil which prevented any type of wear or acids to deteriorate the condition of the coin. It was discovered as part of the "Colosseum Hoard" group of over two thousand silver denarii. As a point of reference, one denarius was considered a day's wage for unskilled labor.
