This Exact Ancient Coin • Your Choice of Handcrafted Setting Few Roman coins tell a story as compelling as this remarkable bronze dupondius struck during the reign of Emperor Caligula between AD 37 and 41. Although issued by Caligula, it bears the portrait of the deified Augustus, Rome's first emperor, honoring the founder of the Roman Empire while reinforcing Caligula's connection to his illustrious predecessor. I selected this particular coin for its impressive large size, beautifully preserved portrait of Augustus, and exceptionally legible legends. Together they create a piece that is both visually striking and historically significant, offering a direct connection to two of Rome's most famous emperors. The coin shown is the exact coin you will receive. After purchase, I will handcraft a custom bezel in brass, sterling silver, 14k gold, 18k gold, or 22k gold specifically for this coin, preserving its unique shape while creating a timeless piece that can be worn every day.
