Need help please with double facing bust coin - AE 25
« on: September 05, 2008, 01:20:52 am »
I thought this might be Augustus, but I've been unsuccessful in my attempts to figure out who it is. Reverse shows figure standing - rt. arm outstretched,  possibly wearing something on the head. Any ideas on this one?

It may be Nero & Agrippina, RPC 2620, as suggested with less confidence for another coin in this thread, which provides the details and a scan of the plate:

And thank you both, once again, because it makes the identification of my coin in the other thread more plausible since your coin is 25 mm, too.

Best regards

My coin is slightly heavier at 11.2g. Both coins certainly do look alike.
