Coins halved in antiquity

Two halves of the same type coin (Vienna dupondius, Octavian's portrait right and Julius Caesar's portrait left - Vienna, Gaul, c.36 BCE), I wish both were equaly preserved - RPC 517







Three halved Nemausus dupondii on a virtual tray showing three different portraits of Agrippa on three different half dupondii of three different types (according to the usual french classification in four types, which is disputed) : type II, III and IV (RPC # 523, 524 and 525).
One can see here the evolution of Agrippa’s appearence from a young, slim and eager young lad to a more mature and wise man.





To finish with, an Augustus' portrait on a type III halved Nemausus dupondius, RPC 524
