[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3362128, member: 87404"]I'm glad you got it! It is a really fascinating coin! This Antioch Augustus was struck by Kevin after already starting his Happy Hour wine (or two) a little early on a Friday afternoon. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/collagemaker_20190107_210320042-jpg.872895/[/IMG] [B]Augustus, Ruled 27 BC-14 AD AE30, Syria, Antioch Mint Obverse[/B]: IMP•AVGVST• - TR•POT, laureate bust of Augustus right. [B]Reverse[/B]: Large SC within laurel-wreath of eight leaves fastened at top with pellet, between inner and outer borders. [I]Reverse is slightly double-struck, which is typical of this early issue (per Butcher, Coinage in Roman Syria).[/I] [B]References[/B]: RPC I 4247, McAlee 206b [B]Size[/B]: 30mm, 18.0g[/QUOTE]
