You too Brutus?

A rare coin has surfaced in New Zealand and it made the news

 

It amazes me that he thought of himself as a hero and celebrated the fact and now we think of him as a traitor and the lowest of the low. But they do say that history is written by the victors and Brutus picked the wrong team!!

That one is lower grade. The one that sold at auction last year was in amazing condition. Still, its a very cool coin.

Caesar usurped power and made himself the absolute dictator of a nation that had a representative form of government so Brutus should take credit for the good deed of getting rid of a despot.

True, I am not disputing that. I can think of a few other occasions that a Brutus figure would have been very handy but that could get political so I am not going there.

That actually looks like a mid-circulated grade, with a some corrosion. These sell for about $100,000 in slick AG!
