A lovely little copper quadrans of Caligula. The abbreviation RCC has generally been expanded to remissa ducentesima, a reference to Caligula's abolition of the tax on auctions originally introduce by Augustus at 1% and later reduced to half that level under Tiberius. Beautiful dark brown patina and excellent detail.
