RPC I assigns it to Tiberius but notes the difficulty in determining if it is a coin of Augustus or Tiberius. It certainly looks like Augustus, but many portraits of Tiberius intentionally exaggerate his resemblance to Augustus. |

| Octavian, 16 January 27 B.C. - 19 August 14 A.D., Roman Provincial Egypt |  | RPC notes, "Struck in two denominations, with the value marks P and M. The value marks and the reverse type (eagle and cornucopia) provide a direct link with the coinage of Cleopatra, indicating that these are the earliest coins of the reign. The absence of SEBASTOS in the otherwise very full legend suggests a date of 30 - 28 B.C." |
