've found this "rare" Greek coin that was struck in Apamea. I can read Thessiera and KAI- ASYL.. I wish if anyone can tell me the name of the young Emperor on the obverse? Thank you so much.
It is a diassarion of Augustus. See this one. Diassarion Obv: Laureate head of Augustus to right Rev. ΑΠΑΜΕΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ Nike advancing to left, holding wreath in raised right hand and palm branch over shoulder with left; monogram in left field Refs: Kovacs A2038A; RPC I 4372.
Since the listed coin on auction is listed as rare, I see of my duty to inform that my coin weighs only 8.89 g. whereas the listed coin weighs 11.54 g. with a denomination of 2 Assaria (Diassarion). The difference in weight would suggest that my coin has possibly a denomination of 1.5 Assarion. I have also to notice that the bust of Augustus is a little different between the 2 coins,especially the neck. In other words, it could be another coin to list apart. Hope I'm clear and right.
