OCTAVIAN Augustus bronze as M. Salvius Otho, RIC 4311263 viewsSalvius Otho, RIC 431. Wrong style, retrograde obv. legend. Modern punched letters COL TESA on the rev. at 3 o'clock . This coin was a promotion by a Spanish company called TESAFILM in the latter part of the twentieth century. This is a well-known token coin, part of a free "fantasy replicas" coin collection. "COL" is the abbreviation for the Spanish word "coleccion" (collection in English, as in coin collection).
