[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 3290603, member: 82616"]Thanks to [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]'s help, I am able to provide a better photo of the piece. [ATTACH=full]869973[/ATTACH] The colour is a bit off (needs to be more reddish), but you can clearly see there is no 'I' at the end of AVGVST. Also, Curtis Clay had something interesting to say about it on Forvm: 'RIC 233 quotes your coin from the photofile of the Numismatic Institute in Vienna, unfortunately without reproducing the picture and without naming the location of the coin itself, presumably in an auction catalogue or a public or private collection. Maybe the Institute photo is of your actual specimen, published for example in an earlier G. Hirsch catalogue, or maybe it's from the same rev. and/or obv. die if it's a different specimen.'[/QUOTE]
