<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2544322, member: 57495&quot;]1184 is correct - there is no AVG in that legend. 1184 is also listed as &quot;As or Dupondius&quot;, because in many cases, one just can&#039;t be sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on the period, their size and weight ranges can be about the same, and when you have a coin with a patina, you can&#039;t tell if the underlying metal is red (copper = As) or yellow (orichalcum = Dupondius). </p><p><br /></p><p>If I was looking to add an example of a dupondius to my collection, personally I&#039;d opt for an issue with a radiate crown, a distinctive feature of the denomination for male rulers most of the time.&nbsp; There are dupondii without radiate crowns and asses struck in orichalcum, but if you see a radiate crown on one of these bronzes, at least you can be sure it&#039;s a dupondius. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]545694[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
