    One of the most famous ancient coin types is the so-called tribute penny of Tiberius (AD 14-37) because of its association with the New Testament "render unto Caesar" episode (Matthew 22, 17-21). Here is one:

    19 mm. 3.93 grams. Denarius.
    Tiberius
    Sear Roman Coins 1763.

    This type varies widely in style, flan size, and centering. This one is good in all three of those aspects. Please compare to examples offered elsewhere, keeping in mind you want full legends:
    MAXIM PONTIF
    TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGUSTVS
    a nice portrait, and a good reverse figure (female seated, often said to be Livia). [$325 (reduced to $275)+ $7 shipping in the US, $3 more abroad]
