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.

This is a very nice coin that does appear to be Augustus. It also appears to be a provinical which might make it a bit diffcult to locate an example of.

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 RĂ³mulo 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.

I tried to contact you but, new members to not have access to the email system. I'm not sure if you can email me, but I may be interested in your coin.
