Augustus (27 BC-AD 14). AR denarius (20mm, 3.64 gm, 12h). NGC Choice AU 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style. Pergamum, 27 BC. CAESAR, bare head of Augustus right / AVGVSTVS, bull standing right, head raised. RIC 475. BMCRE 663. RSC 28. The over-sized flan provides the ample canvas for this spectacular work of art, showcasing delicate features, with splashes of blue and violet on the overall reddish surfaces. The flan crack must be noted for accuracy, as well as what appears to be a tiny bankers mark on the bridge of the portrait, but are not at all distracting in hand.
