Octavian. 44-27 B.C. AR fourrée denarius (19.6 mm, 3.05 g, 11 h). Pergamum mint, struck 28 B.C. Rare. CAESAR DIVI F COS VI, bare head right, small capricorn below / AEGVPTO CAPTA, crocodile standing right. cf.RIC 545; cf.CRI 432; cf.RSC 4. aVF.

Although the core is not visible on this example, it is significantly underweight, it must be a fourree. It clearly circulated as authentic due to its wear. Another plated example with the same dies was recently sold by CNG.
