The famous (or infamous) "Ides of March" denarius minted by Brutus in 42 BC to commemorate the assassination of Caesar in 44 BC. The imagery is undeniable, the cap of liberty with a pugio on either side and Brutus' head in profile - pure propaganda when Brutus was trying to create more support when he began to realise his cause was in trouble. In 2014 the coin was estimated to be worth $546 000 USD. For a full description see the included link:
