<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2752618, member: 44316&quot;]Long ago I was very interested in imitations including fourrees. I wrote this site:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>which goes into some detail and has a long page of references for further reading. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]630838[/ATTACH] </p><p>The site has many fourrees. This one is my favorite. </p><p>A super fourrée of highest style. Only the break at 11:00/9:00 where the foil is clear makes it obvious this is a fourrée. It had fooled the dealer until I pointed it out. The style is very close to the aureus of this type, BMC plate 7.10. </p><p>Augustus</p><p>Obverse: no legend, laureate bust right </p><p>&nbsp; /FORT RED/CAES AVG/SPQR inscribed on a square altar </p><p>RIC 54a, &quot;Spain&quot;, &quot;R2&quot; page 45.&nbsp; &quot;c. 20-19 BC&quot; </p><p>BMC 359a, page 64, plate 7.11 (3.62 grams). </p><p>Sear M 1608var with bust right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
