This ancient Roman coin is an amazing piece of history that dates back to the year 41 AD. It features the image of the 5th Roman Emperor Claudius I, who ruled during the Roman Imperial era. The front of the coin features Emperor Claudius I facing left. The reverse shows Minerva facing right holding a spear and shield.

Claudius (full name Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) was the fourth Roman emperor from 41 to 54 A.D. Best known for the successful expansion of Rome into Britain and parts of Africa and the Middle East, Claudius was an accomplished leader who brought forth improvements to the empire's judicial system, passed laws protecting enslaved workers, extended Roman citizenship and gave citizens more rights.

This rare find is a great addition to any coin collection and is almost 2000 years old. Its significance as a piece of history cannot be overstated.
