<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8179608, member: 110350&quot;]That&#039;s a beautiful example of the type, and a great choice. Here&#039;s my example, which has a very worn and off-center reverse, although I&#039;m fond of the obverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus AR Denarius, 19 BCE, Colonia Patricia [Cordoba] Mint. Obv. CAESAR AVGVSTVS, bare head right / Rev: SIGNIS RECEPTIS and SP QR, above and below; aquila (left) &amp; standard (right) flanking shield incribed CL V. RIC I 86, RSC I 265, Sear RCV I 1633. 18mm, 3.8 g.&nbsp; [<i>The Senate awarded Augustus the &#039;shield of valour&#039; (clipeus virtutis) for recovering the standards lost to the Parthians by Crassus</i>.]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/augustus-denarius-shield-reverse-colonia-patricia-jpg.1427953/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
