The famous 64 CE coinage reform reduced the denarius to roughly 90% silver, beginning the gradual debasement of Imperial currency. Reverses celebrating Salus or Jupiter were standard responses to the political instability of his later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDenomination: Denarius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMint: Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDate struck: 66-67 AD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReference: RIC I-67\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.20 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter: 19 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDie axis: \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCondition: Very Fine (VF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWear it as a pendant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coin can be paired with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/handmade-925-silver-chain-with-bail\"\u003ehandmade 925 silver chain with bail\u003c\/a\u003e to wear it as a pendant.
