Mattingly in BMC I (1923, pp. cxxvi f.) thought that the portrait of this coin must certainly represent a youthful Augustus rather than Caius Caesar, but he was unable to decide where and when the coin might have been struck and how it should be interpreted. Giard in his Paris catalogue (1976, p. 45) thought the youthful portrait and candelabrum reverse type might relate to the Saecular Games, so dated the coin to 17 BC. R. Prideaux (Triton XI, 8 January 2008, lot 829) suggested that the reverse type was actually funereal, so might refer to the death of Agrippa in Pannonia in 12 BC, the coin being an emergency issue produced in Pannonia for the army soon after that event
