Lotto 401:
Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD) . Fourreé Denarius, P. Petronius Turpilianus, moneyer, Rome mint. Obv. TVRPILIANVS III VIR / FERON. Diademed and draped bust of Feronia right. Rev. [CAESAR] AVGVSTVS [SIGN RECE]. Parthian kneeling right in attitude of submission, offering up vexillum (marked X) and extending hand. RIC I (2nd ed.) 288. AR/AE. 3.88 g. 18.20 mm. R. Well preserved. Rare and interesting fourreé example. VF. The example presents some singularities that distinguish it from simple fourreé denarii; the high weight and a particularly thick and oxidized coating. It is not clear whether the dark surface is caused by the oxidation of the silver coating, whether it is an oxide of the underlying alloy, or a coating between the core and the now disappeared silver foil.
