Republic As identification
« on: April 19, 2019, 09:22:44 am »
Dear all,

I wonder if you could offer some advice about this rather battered old coin. The obverse has Janus and the reverse is almost entirely blank. I can't seem to find a match for the style of the pillar or column intervening between the heads on the obverse. 10.45g, 28mm max. Any guidance appreciated.

Janus is not the usual type. It is combined with an "altar", similar to this:
