Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 10:30 am I wanted to let you know I am looking for this coin, but in the mean time I wanted to welcome you. This is a very pretty coin and you are correct it does look like an Augustus coin. Possibly from Spain, perhaps Italica. But so far I have not found anything like it. In the meantime, please provide the weight and dimensions if possible. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 10:54 am I think I've found it, but I don't have a reference number. If the coin weighs in the vicinity of 6.7g, it may be like the coin referenced at this link: http://moneda-hispanica.com/latinas6.htm. Once on this site go to the coins from Italica. A like coin is pictured as the second coin: AS 27 AC - 14 DC 6'70 g. AB1243 Anverso: Cabeza de Octavio a izquierda. Alrededor PERM.CAES.AVG. Reverso: MVNIC. Loba amamantando a Rómulo y Remo a derecha. Encima MVNIC. Debajo ITALIC en exergo. Translation: 27 BC - 14 AD 6 70 g. AB1243 Obverse : Head of Octavian to left. About PERM.CAES.AVG. Reverse : MVNIC. Wolf suckling Romulus and Remus to right. MVNIC above. ITALIC below in exergue. Edited by Bing 07/10/2012 10:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
