Lot # 416 - Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). AE 21.5 mm. Asia Minor, uncertain mint, c. 30 BC(?). Obv. Bare head right. Rev. Fiscus, sella quaestoria and hasta; Q below. RPC I 5410; AMNG 228. AE. 7.09 g. 21.50 mm. VF. This issue has previously been attributed to a Macedonian mint with the portrait identified either as Brutus (Friedlander), Caesar (Grant), or to the governor of Syria, Gaius Sosius (in the trade). RPC presents a case for an origin in northern Turkey, supported by find data, with a suggestion that the portrait is Octavian. Issues of similar portrait style, very likely by the same engraver, include the 'Princeps Felix' coinage from Cilicia (RPC 4082-3).

Good VF. This coin type was initially minted to commemorate Augustus' establishment of the colony named Colonia Augusta Nemausus in southern Gaul in 27 BC. However, the specific coin in question is part of a revival of the 'crocodile dupondius' design, which occurred two years after Agrippa's death. It features the abbreviation P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse, a title Augustus was only given in 2 BC, indicating that it was issued at a later date.
