Nice Augustus Tetradrachm
Sear 106 variant, minted 2 - 1 BC
His laureate head right. 'KAISAROS SEBASTOU'
City goddess seated on rock, right, holding palm branch. River god Orontes swimming right at her feet. Two monograms in right field and 'IB' (12th Consulship). 'ETOUS HK NIKHS'
Grade :gF/aVF
Notes :A very nice example with good detail, good
       silver and an excellent portrait. The
       reverse fields show some roughness, but
       that serves to highlight the raised detail.
       All in all a nice coin.
