| Additional information |
The quinarius aureus occupies an odd corner of Augustan monetary policy — struck at half the weight of a full aureus, it saw limited official use and appears to have functioned largely in donative and ceremonial contexts rather than everyday commerce. Issues from around 1–2 AD fall late in Augustus's long reign, when the coinage system he restructured following Actium had already been stable for decades. RIC I 213 is among the less frequently encountered of his gold quinarii, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce in the market.
