Roman Empire - Copper AS of Augustus (ca. 7 BC)
Offered is an ever-desirable portrait-type AS of Emperor Augustus, minted in Rome ca. 7 BC. Although on a chipped flan with some design weakness in the lower right third, this piece retains good portrait detail, and all inscriptions necessary for attribution. Redeeming its eye appeal is the attractive mocha patina, punctuated by red and olive hues. All in all, a great example for a ‘Caesars’ collection.
