    It says CLAVDIVS on the obverse but wildwinds has no coin like this

    26mm

    Could this be Augustus or Marcus Agrippa?

    Thanks,

    Claudius probably minted at a Spanish mint:

    The neck is the giveaway that it is definitely Claudius. No other emperor had those, distorted, bulging neck muscles.
