Hi

 

I am with doubt about this coin.

→ Reverse: funeral pyre.

→ Only found coins with obverse: “DIVVS VERVS”.

→ The obverse of this coin has another lettering.

 

Is this right? Any suggestion?

 

   

 

Composition: Silver

Weight: 2,4 g

Diameter: 17,0 mm

Can you take some better photos please? I can't read the obverse, it starts with IMP as far as I can tell and ends with VERVS AVG but I can't see the middle. Judging by nothing but these photos I'd say it's a replica. Closest match I found is RIC 596b but as you said that has the DIVVS VERVS obverse.

I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

Hi

 

I can read: “IMP ? ????? VERVS AVG”
