<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1888331, member: 19463&quot;]It is listed in the British Museum Catalog volume IV page 305 as note to the second one listed that they lack in the collection but with obverse legend a4 (but they may have got one since the book was published).&nbsp;&nbsp; The legends are as Gil quoted but the weight/color makes it most likely a dupondius (IMHO).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The coin strikes me as enough of a rarity that it should be reported to be sure it is included in future references.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they know of the general type but might not have the version with head (not bust) and legend a4.&nbsp; They list something similar as being in the Colchester Museum but do not give full details.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if they would reply to a email inquiry from out of the UK or not</p><p><a href="http://www.cimuseums.org.uk/collections/identifications-service.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cimuseums.org.uk/collections/identifications-service.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cimuseums.org.uk/collections/identifications-service.html</a></p><p>I would not mail the coin but might send a photo asking how it differs from the coins quoted in BMCRE IV page 305.&nbsp; I also suspect Curtis Clay (at Harlan Berk in Chicago or on Forvm) might know if it is known in this exact form.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
