Hello, can you please help me to identify this coin ? I suppose that the emperor is Augustus, above the head I can distinguish .....GVSTVS..... I didn't find other similar reverse till now. 11.8 g 29 mm Thanks!
Very rare coin you have there probably this one from CNG archives. 280, Lot: 115. Estimate $300. Sold for $650. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee. Divus Augustus. Died AD 14. Æ Dupondius (28mm, 12.99 g, 12h). Rome mint. Struck under Tiberius, circa AD 22-23. Radiate head of Divus Augustus left / Round temple flanked by [calf] and lamb standing on columns. RIC I 74 (Tiberius). VF, green patina, minor roughness. Scarce type. From the Nera Collection.
Thanks for your help !! Using your information I was able to find other examples, the best example I found: http://www.ikmk.at/image/ID57165/vs_exp.jpg http://www.ikmk.at/image/ID57165/rs_exp.jpg I cleaned the coin a little bit , now I can see more details : the two small animals , a third column , and the word PATER on obverse.
