<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barry Murphy, post: 8305211, member: 79368&quot;]David,</p><p><br /></p><p>your coin is certainly a Dupondius. The yellowish color of the metal indicates it’s struck in orichalcum, not copper which would be more reddish. The radiate crown was not as important in ancient times for identifying denominations because the as and Dupondius would have been completely different colors when they were issued and easily identifiable. The bronze coins we see today look nothing like they did in ancient times. We might be appalled at the sight of a Domitian as that looked like a 2022 Lincoln penny. It’s only with centuries of toning and encrustations that we have difficulties in determining denominations. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Barry Murphy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
