[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2757888, member: 80783"]I have tracked down 20 presumably genuine examples now (four in Museums, sixteen in private hands) . Wide rims do exist, like on this one from the Berlin Museum, which is 37 mm in diameter: [ATTACH=full]633112[/ATTACH] At least one specimen does indeed have the Avgusta´s A to the left: [ATTACH=full]633105[/ATTACH] Others have the Pietas´S right in the middle on top of the figure´s head, like the one Ro illustrated above: [ATTACH=full]633108[/ATTACH] Nevertheless obviously it cannot be that all of the three coins that not only combine these three features, but look 99 % alike (one of them a Paduan and the only clear difference I can make out in the other two the shape of the SC in the Göttingen example and the die crack in mine). I wrote to Göttingen University and asked them about their opinion and the history of their coin. I´ll keep you updated...[/QUOTE]
