Visible on the left side of the obverse and right side of the reverse is some kind of resin filler, probably removable. Some has been removed on the other side (a small trace remains on the edge at 4 o’clock).
An historically significant issue given Augustus and Antony’s victory over Caesar’s assassins at Philippi in 42 BCE.
