Description

Front: Kopf des Augustus nach r. Im l. F. und auf dem Gesicht des Augustus mehrere Punzen bzw. kleine Einhiebe.
Rear: Siegesmal (tropaeum), darunter Rundschilde und Waffen.
Chop mark: A mark of undefined form made normally with a chisel-like tool, for example to test the purity of the core of a coin. It can also be the result of damage caused when the object was found.
Punched: Intentionally marked with a punch, both contemporary to the object and later. In contrast to a countermark of a much more simple design. Not to be confused with punches creating a positive image, which were used during the manufacture of a die.
