<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2746968, member: 74968&quot;]Hi All,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have decided to give away the following coin. The only restriction I have is that the winner will be a first time winner. If you have won anything on one of these giveaway threads on Cointalk in the last year, please let someone else be the next recipient. Other wise all are free to enter the contest. The name of the winner will be drawn tomorrow night around 8pm EST. the coin is currently held by JA who will mail out the coin to the winner. The description of the coin was written by JA and is used with permission. I will post the name of the winner tomorrow night.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius" rel="nofollow">Tiberius Caesar Divi Augusti Fīlius Augustus</a> was the son of Tiberius Claudius Nero and Livia Drusilla. When his mother divorced Nero and married Octavian, Tiberius Junior became the stepson of Caesar Augustus, and eventually the second Roman emperor. This is a very scarce denarius which commemorates his German triumph of 13 BC over the Chatti and Chequsci - the same type struck for him as Caesar under Augustus. The coin has circulation wear, as you can see, but it’s much brighter in hand - I had to increase the contrast to show the details. This is an excellent “budget” example of a rare and historically important coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius, AD 14-37</p><p>AR denarius, 18mm, 3.3g, 12h; Lugdunum, AD 14-15</p><p>Obv.: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS; Laureate head right.</p><p>Rev.: TR POT XVI; Tiberius in quadriga right, holding laurel-branch and eagle-tipped scepter // IMP VII</p><p>Reference: RIC I 2</p><p><i>From the Orfew Collection</i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]628235[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
