The 41AD-54AD Sestertius - Claudius

Orichalcum Sestertius of Emperor Tiberius N. Claudius with countermark "NCAPR".  Minted between 41AD and 54AD at the Rome Mint, and could be 41AD-50AD as that is when the letter PP were thought to added to the Obverse legend. Diameter 33 mm and weighs 24.52g.

The countermark NCAPR was probably added during Nero, but may have been during Nerva. Orichalcum is a golden-coloured bronze alloy that was often used in ancient Rome coinage.

The Obverse shows the laureate head of Claudius facing right. Legend is "TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M [TR P] IMP".

Edge is plain.

Reverse is Spes, the goddess of hope. Spes holds a flower in a raised right hand.  Legend around is "SPES [AVGVSTA]". Counter mark "NCAPR" on right. "SC" in exergue. SC means senatus consultum, or 'by decree of the Senate' so the coin was an official issue.
