Anonymous Issue 86 B.C. AR denarius (18.31 mm, 3.28 g, 6 h). Rome mint, struck 86 B.C.

head of Apollo right wreathed in oak / Jupiter driving quadriga right, [brandishing thunderbolt]. gVF/VF, strong portrait, lightly toned.

This issue is contemporaneous and shares the same devices with the signed triple-magistrate issues for Gargonius, Ogulnias and Vergilius so it must be considered related to that issue, but the reason for its existence is unclear.
