Roman Empire – Severus II (AD 306–307) – Bronze Coin, NGC Certified
A genuine bronze coin struck for Severus II, one of the shortest-reigning emperors of the early 4th century. Encapsulated in an NGC protective holder, this coin is authenticated and preserved for collectors seeking rare imperial issues from the turbulent Tetrarchic era.
Material: Bronze (AE)
Date: Struck circa AD 306–307
Certification: NGC Certified
Obverse: Portrait of Emperor Severus II, radiating imperial authority.
Reverse: Typically depicts Roman deities or imperial symbols, celebrating strength, stability, and divine favor.
Historical Significance:
A trusted companion of Emperor Galerius, Severus II rose from common birth to the throne as Western Augustus after Diocletian’s retirement. His reign was cut short when he was betrayed, captured, and executed in Ravenna after little more than a year in power.
Coins of Severus II are relatively scarce due to his brief and ill-fated reign, making them highly desirable to collectors of the Tetrarchy and Constantine-era history. This certified bronze issue is more than just a coin — it is a tangible artifact from a moment of intense political intrigue and imperial struggle, when the Roman Empire’s fate hung in the balance.
