No RIC number . Brokage.

You can read more about a brockage at Numiswiki. In sum, it is an error caused by the failure of the mint workers to remove a struck flan from the dies. This results in an incuse impression created on the reverse of the next flan struck, instead of the correct reverse design.

As the reverse design is not present, it is not possible to identify an RIC number.

In this case I think, according to the text we can read, we are able to define what kind of reverse was on this coin ... am I wrong ?

[benito]

No. The text (incuse) in reverse comes from the obverse.
The emperor is Augustus.

Sorry Benito, perhaps I didn´t express myself clearly ... I mean the text we find in obverse "CAESAR PONT MAX" (Augustus coin), I believe, fits only with Lugdunum RIC 230 ...

If there´s only one reverse for Caesar Pont Max obverse then its  RIC 230. Can´t tell you because my RIC is in storage.

Ric 229 is only other coin with this obverse, but it is a sestertius.
So RIC 230 seems right identification.

Hi folks,

Really?

This came as a surprise to me. Just off the top of my head (without looking in RIC), the obverse portrait reminds me of the work of a Spanish mint (Emerita, Caesaraugusta, etc.). That portrait style is usually found on Augustus denarius coins minted in Spain.
