ROMAN REPUBLIC. Q. Pomponius Musa. AR Denarius (3.96 gms), Rome Mint, 56 B.C. NGC AU★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5 Cr-410/5; Syd-815. Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right; two crossed tibiae to left; Reverse: Euterpe, the Muse of Music and Lyric Poetry, standing right, supporting her head with her left hand by resting her elbow upon column and holding two tibiae in right hand. Very well centered and most attractively toned, this enticing and wholesome example offers immense eye appeal and is not surprisingly exceptionally worthy of its star designation assigned by NGC.
