Description: Offered here is what I believe to be an unusual variant or die combination of the Octavian & Julius Caesar dupondius from Gaul. I believe that it shows Octavian and either Julius Caesar or Agrippa but, since I am uncertain of the exact issue even after much research, I must list it as "un-identified" at this time. Struck at the Lugdunum mint c. 36BC on a 29mm bronze flan weighing 23.3gm., this coin has some very interesting details. Wildwinds has a similar example listed with a palm branch between the two busts, more visible obverse legend and a similar yet more complex galley reverse with the single "meta" (turning post at race tracks) structure on the deck, the oars and the railing visible as well, listed as RPC I 515 ; Girard Lyon7; SNG Copenhagen 689. In my opinion the bust on the left strongly resembles that of Divus Julius Caesar and the upside-down legend DIVI F above the two busts is plainly visible on this coin which I believe indicates that this must be the issue with Julius Caesar. The much simpler galley reverse on this coin seems to suggest the Augustus & Agrippa issue which is very similar. Any information from fellow ebayers would of course, be greatly appreciated. In the beautiful condition shown with a somewhat granular surface and wear but some nice details and even patina as shown in the photos. Your satisfaction is guaranteed in any case since if you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, I will refund the initial shipping fee and also pay the return shipping cost for a truly risk-free purchase.
