MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 12:34 pm Hi, not sure on this one again.. Measures 24 mm in diameter at largest point. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 2:02 pm I think it's a Roman Provincial of the emperor Trajan. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 3:46 pm I could be wrong but I think it might be a Augustus moneyer series As. Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 5:51 pm I found this interesting page. http://www.mimala.nl/micoi/-05th/ot...oneyers.html Learn something new all the time here. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 5:57 pm Just read the page, doesn't look like you'll be able to tell. The bulk of the reverse legend is AAAFF - which comes just before the name. Perhaps you can read some of the other letters? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 7:33 pm I thought I read TRA on the obverse which lead me to think Trajan. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 8:55 pm I checked through the different varieties. While I had hoped it might match up with Sear #1680 C PLOTIVS RVFVS (one of my Clan) alas it did not. Looking through the names of moneyers I think the only match exists with Sear #1686 P LVRIVS AGIPPA. From the positioning of the name on the legend I would give it about a 90% plus probability Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you very much for that, will do a bit more reading up on this type, I had honestly never hear of it before it was mention here.

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/21/2013 06:49 am These coins as a series are quite common for Augustus. Certain moneyers might be rarer than the others, possibly. Report this Post to the Staff
