The obverse shows the laureate head of Augustus, while the reverse depicts Gaius and Lucius standing front, each resting a hand on a shield, with spears behind them and ritual symbols above.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFound in Kent and recorded as part of Treasure case 2011T778, this coin carries the weight of Roman imperial power in a small silver object — a fragment of empire, lost in Britain and recovered from the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE DESIGN\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design uses the “Detectorist’s Find” format — simple, minimal, and field-oriented.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe coin is presented large and isolated, with bold typography, a barcode-style graphic, the ARTEFACT mark, and the vertical line:\u003cbr\u003e\n“EVERY FIND COUNTS”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe layout treats the object as a direct field discovery rather than a decorative museum exhibit. It is clean, focused, and built around the detectorist’s relationship with the find.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrinted text on the design:\u003cbr\u003e\n“DETECTORIST’S FIND”\u003cbr\u003e\n“EVERY FIND COUNTS”\u003cbr\u003e\n“SILVER DENARIUS OF AUGUSTUS”\u003cbr\u003e\n“ROMAN BRITAIN, BETWEEN 2 BC AND AD 9”\u003cbr\u003e\n“FOUND IN ASH-CUM-RIDLEY, SEVENOAKS, KENT, ENGLAND”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nARTEFACT DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nArtefact: Silver denarius of Augustus\u003cbr\u003e\nObject type: Coin\u003cbr\u003e\nDenomination: Denarius\u003cbr\u003e\nRuler \/ issuer: Augustus\u003cbr\u003e\nReverse type: Gaius and Lucius\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003e\nDate: 2 BC–AD 9\u003cbr\u003e\nPeriod: Roman Britain\u003cbr\u003e\nMint: Lugdunum\u003cbr\u003e\nLocation: Ash-cum-Ridley, Sevenoaks, Kent, England\u003cbr\u003e\nMethod of discovery: Metal detector\u003cbr\u003e\nTreasure case: 2011T778\u003cbr\u003e\nPAS Unique ID: LON-96EE62\u003cbr\u003e\nRecord ID: 468959\u003cbr\u003e\nCollection: Detectorist’s Find\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCOLOUR NOTE\u003cbr\u003e\nThis listing is for DARK garment colours only:\u003cbr\u003e\nBLACK, FRENCH NAVY, DARK HEATHER GREY.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe artwork is optimised for best contrast on dark garments.\u003cbr\u003e\nLooking for light colours?
