<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2918283, member: 4298&quot;]As promised. The coin arrived yesterday in the mail</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a fourth type (bearing PP on obverse) of particularily good style to my eyes. According to JC Terrien in his website dedicated to Nemausus coinage, this type of engraving with massive portraits is that of the latest emissions. I think they&#039;re not as cartoonish as they sometimes look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although the patina is a bit pitted, the two portraits are very distinctive on the obverse, and centering is reasonnably good on both sides (only the end of the croc&#039;s snout is off flan). I do like how the palm tree is stylized too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did I say I like it ?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0030-411.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Augustus &amp; Agrippa, AE Dupondius </b> Nemausus mint, after AD 10</p><p>4th type</p><p>IMP DIVI F PP, Laureate heads of Augustus looking right and Agrippa looking left, back to back</p><p>COL NEM, Crocodile chained to palm tree</p><p>13,52 gr</p><p>Ref : RCV #1731, Cohen #8</p><p><br /></p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
