Historical Significance
The reverse legend expresses the Emperor’s connection to the capital of his native province of Africa – Carthage.
-
Likely related to the construction of the Carthaginian aqueduct.
-
In 204 AD, Emperor Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla visited Africa.
This extraordinary gold aureus of Emperor Septimius Severus represents a unique investment opportunity. Its value is driven by a combination of high historical importance, extreme rarity (RR), and a superb state of preservation approaching Mint State. The attractive iconographic motif of Dea Caelestis on a lion symbolizes the imperial link to Carthage, fueling strong collector demand.
The distinction of this specific specimen is further cemented by its publication in the standard reference Calicó and its selection as the cover coin for the Künker auction catalogue. With only four known examples of this type recorded in available numismatic databases, this piece is considered the finest known specimen. Furthermore, its documented provenance from major auctions (Künker and NAC) significantly enhances its prestige, traceability, and long-term investment potential.
