Tempor New Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 2 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 1:14 pm Hello, few days ago I get this coin. Much trouble to identify.. But, I am almost sure that it is Denarius Augustus. Maybe rare bc head is facing left. Problem is that its weight is only 2,7 grams, while in some catalogs, weight is no less than 3,3 grams. OK, coin is damaged, but one gram..? Pictures are.. so, so... Any help from experts? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
