        AUGUSTUS AR silver denarius. Struck at Colonia Patricia,
        Spain, circa 19 BC. AVGVSTVS CAESAR, Head of Augustus right,
        wearing oak wreath. Reverse - Victory flying right, holding
        wreath over shield. Listed as RIC I 94, with bare head right -
        This specimen shows the same bust facing right, but wearing a
        wreath instead of being bare-headed. 

        An apparently unique and unpublished variety, with one other
        specimen showing up on coinarchives, from the Tony Hardy
        collection.
