[QUOTE="TJC, post: 1900908, member: 45502"]Here is an up-date: Colchester + Ipswich Museum replied to my query. They did not confirm the attribution of my coin, but did confirm that there museum does have an example of: Marcus Aurelius, AE Dupondius, 149 AD, Rome. O: M AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F, Bare-headed, draped head right. Rx: TR POT III COS II, Clementia standing to front, head left, holding patera. Holding out folds of robe; CLEM in exergue. SC in fields. It is: 26 mm diameter and 11.08 grams. British Museum Catalog volume IV page 305 but with obverse legend a4. The Curator of Archaeology at [url]http://www.cimuseums.org.uk/[/url] confirmed that, "Yes, we have such a coin". He gave it accession number is 2006.71.143. I think the "accession number" is a catalog number for the museum, but am not sure. Real happy that I got a response and that I now have an attribution that matches my coin:) I also emailed the British Museum of London but did not receive a response.[/QUOTE]
