A serrate denarius was a silver Roman denarius coin with a serrated or indented edge, a unique feature found only on Republican Roman coins from the late 2nd to early 1st century BC. The exact purpose of this serration is unknown, but it may have been an anti-counterfeiting measure, making it harder to create plated coins.

It is in incredible condition for being over 2000 years old with such crisp details and would be a fantastic addition to a numismatic collection.
