Description

Augustus (27 BC - AD 14), Cistophoric Tetradrachm, Aeolis: Pergamum (?), 27-26 BC
AR (g 11,90; mm 26; h 12)
IMP CAESAR, bare head of Octavian r., Rv. AVGV - STVS, six bunched corn-ears. RIC 494; C 32; RPC 2212.
A fabulous portrait of Augustus probably engraved by the master at the mint. It would be hard to find Augustus rendered more delicately than here. A delicate cabinet tone, struck in high relief on a sound metal, probably the best specimen known: fdc.
