Marc Antony and Octavian, Denarius, RSC 8524 viewsObv: M ANT IMP AVG III VIR R P C M BARBAT Q P

Rev: CAESAR IMP PONT III VIR R P C
Bust: Bare head of Octavian right
Mint: Ephesus Date: Spring - Summer 41 BC.

The coin appears to have been created by someone without a good reference and is completely fake. This was an authentic coin however, the jewelry tooled and carved in the details without a good reference. The original coin portraits are not smiling, as on this altered version, although both Mark Antony and Octavian do look rather pleased with themselves. Jul 18, 2004
