<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 8650277, member: 112342&quot;]I just finished my exams this week and got a notification of a coin show that happened on Saturday, I just went to destress and was not planning on buying anything. Since only last month I got a cob reales from a show by a different organisation. As I was browsing the tables, this coin caught my eye! I&#039;ve always wanted a denarius of him (I do have one but it doesn&#039;t have his bust) so I had to have it even if it meant breaking my budget, cuz the price was really good for AUD that I could never get from online sources. While not spectacular as compared to other denarii of Augustus, couple of things I like about this coin is the bust of Augustus, and a nice reverse with good centring, which I think is hard to find on these coins. And last but not least, there is a &#039;X&#039; mark on the reverse, which I assume means a scarcer type? while there&#039;re no good reasoning for this, I guess the X meant to signify the death of these children? Looks like there is also a die break causing a cud on the obverse at 5&#039;o clock .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1518572[/ATTACH] 2 BC - 4 AD</p><p>3.36g</p><p>Obv: CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE</p><p>Rev: C L CAESARES AVGVSTI F COS DESIG PRINC IVVENT</p><p>Gaius and Lucius Caesar standing, each, togate, resting hand on shield and spear, simpulum, left, and lituus, right, flanking, right and left respectively; X below.</p><p>RIC 211</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your first emperor![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
