These privately minted 1 gram Gold Caesar Augustus Rounds
by PCB are a .9999 pure 24kt gold homage to the first Roman emperor,
Caesar Augustus, who led Rome's transformation from republic to empire
during the tumultuous years following the assassination of his
great-uncle and adoptive father Julius Caesar. He shrewdly combined
military might, institution-building and lawmaking to become Rome's sole
ruler, thus ending the free republic.
Similar to the ancient Roman coins in circulation during his rule like
the gold aureus and silver denarius, the obverse design of this silver
round features the striking profile of Augustus himself donning a laurel
oak crown. The name CAESAR AUGUSTUS is stamped around the portrait.
The centerpiece of the reverse design is the chemical symbol for gold
(Aurum) "AU", and "1
GRAM .9999" to denote the weight and fineness of the round.
