2nd Century BC, these caves are near Bhubaneshwar in the state of Orissa, India, The audio is from Orissa Tribology
Probably an expert can identify in what year and by which money minters this coin was issued, but I do not know. The initials L.CV. on the back under the galloping horseback twins "dioscurii" does indicate which elected officials were in charge of coining the money for the year.
A museum in Spain features a crappier specimen of this same coin on their website here:
http://museudaguarda.imc-ip.pt/pt-PT/publicacoes/PrintVersionContentDetail.aspx?id=154
They don't know what year it's minted either, just "2nd Century". We can find no more examples on google images, but it's mentioned in old books without pictures.
On the front is the goddess Roma's head with elm, facing right; in the back, horn of plenty, and in front of it an X, which means "ten", like "ten dollars" with a beaded border.
The denarius was a standard weight and measure for a hundred or more years, containing a constant measure of fine silver. As fine as they could refine it.
Some authentic denarii from the second and first century B.C. are "fouree" coins that are only silver coated and otherwise totally base metal. Their existence in circulation probably explains the practice of stamping and biting silver coins, to test them. Even though they all had an "X" stamped on them to indicate their denomination of "ten" money units (which were copper), few people wanted to get stuck with a copper slug dipped in silver. The actual silver weight (AGW) mattered to commerce more than 2,000 years ago.
This coin is solid silver. The fouree ones usually look like the terminator after a fight now, with a thin lustrous skin peeling away from decayed core of blackness. Who was making these fakes? The money minters to pocket the difference? The government as a policy? Private mints making counterfeits? Someone always tries to mess with the money.

Rome In The 1st Century - Episode 1: Order From Chaos (ANCIENT HISTORY DOCUMENTARY)
Millions of people played important parts in the remarkable history of Rome in the first century AD. Head and shoulders above everyone else stands Augustus.
Born to an unremarkable family, Augustus got a lucky break when his great-uncle, Julius Caesar, adopted him. When Caesar was murdered shortly afterwards, Augustus threw himself into the murderous mix of Roman politics.
Allying himself with Mark Antony, they killed their enemies and divided the empire between them. Augustus took Rome and Antony took Egypt, where he met Cleopatra. This made him a threat. Augustus was not prepared to take any chances and attacked first. His army destroyed most of the Egyptian fleet and Antony and Cleopatra killed themselves shortly afterwards.
Returning home, Augustus was a hero and soon became Rome’s first emperor. Abroad, he expanded the empire enormously, while domestically he played the politics carefully, using popular acclaim to reinforce his power.
Augustus was a complex man: brutal but compassionate, and austere but popular. In public, he was a religious and moral conservative, projecting himself as a pious man. In private, his daughter, Julia, was having a string of affairs.
Above all, though, Augustus was determined. When Julia’s behavior became a scandal, he banished her from Rome for life. Shortly afterwards, the famous poet Ovid published some indecent poetry: he, too, was banished for life.
Against all odds, Augustus ruled as Emperor for over 40 years, surviving plots, rebellions and mutinies. When he died, he was declared to be a god. His rule created the image of Imperial Rome that lasts to this day. He was the Emperor by which his heirs would be judged.

The 2nd century BC started the first day of 200 BC and ended the last day of 101 BC. It is considered part of the Classical era, although depending on the region being studied, other terms may be more proper (for instance, if regarding only the Eastern Mediterranean, it would best be called part of the Hellenistic period).
Fresh from its victories in the Second Punic War, the Roman Republic continued its expansion into neighbouring territories, eventually annexing Greece, and the North African coast after completely destroying the city of Carthage at the end of the Third Punic War. Rome's influence was also felt in the near east, as crumbling Hellenistic states like the Seleucid Empire were forced to make treaties on Roman terms in order to avoid confrontation with the new masters of the western Mediterranean. The period is noted for the emergence of a new arrogance on the part of the Romans, which manifested itself in provincial corruption, and a shameless lust for wealth and status among the privileged classes. The end of the century witnessed the reforming of the Roman Army from a citizen army to a voluntary professional force, under the guidance of the great general and statesman Gaius Marius—(Marian Reforms).

The 2nd century is the period from 101 to 200 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Common Era. It is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period
Early in the century, the Roman Empire attained its greatest expansion under the emperor Trajan, but after his death became primarily defensive for the rest of its history. Much prosperity took place throughout the empire at this time, ruled as it were by the Five Good Emperors, a succession of just and able rulers. This period also saw the removal of the Jews from Jerusalem during the reign of Hadrian after Bar Kokhba's revolt. The last quarter of the century saw the end of the period of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana at the death of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, last of the "Five Good Emperors", and the accession of his ineffective and deranged son Commodus.
Although the Han Dynasty of China was firmly cemented into power and extended its imperial influence into Central Asia during the first half of the century, by the second half there was widespread corruption and open rebellion. This set in motion its ultimate decline, until it was overthrown in 220.

Probably an expert can identify in what year and by which money minters this coin was issued, but I do not know. The initials L.CV. on the back under the galloping horseback twins "dioscurii" does indicate which elected officials were in charge of coining the money for the year.
A museum in Spain features a crappier specimen of this same coin on their website here:
http://museudaguarda.imc-ip.pt/pt-PT/publicacoes/PrintVersionContentDetail.aspx?id=154
They don't know what year it's minted either, just "2nd Century". We can find no more examples on google images, but it's mentioned in old books without pictures.
On the front is the goddess Roma's head with elm, facing right; in the back, horn of plenty, and in front of it an X, which means "ten", like "ten dollars" with a beaded border.
The denarius was a standard weight and measure for a hundred or more years, containing a constant measure of fine silver. As fine as they could refine it.
Some authentic denarii from the second and first century B.C. are "fouree" coins that are only silver coated and otherwise totally base metal. Their existence in circulation probably explains the practice of stamping and biting silver coins, to test them. Even though they all had an "X" stamped on them to indicate their denomination of "ten" money units (which were copper), few people wanted to get stuck with a copper slug dipped in silver. The actual silver weight (AGW) mattered to commerce more than 2,000 years ago.
This coin is solid silver. The fouree ones usually look like the terminator after a fight now, with a thin lustrous skin peeling away from decayed core of blackness. Who was making these fakes? The money minters to pocket the difference? The government as a policy? Private mints making counterfeits? Someone always tries to mess with the money.

Even though they all had an "X" stamped on them to indicate their denomination of "ten" money units (which were copper), few people wanted to get stuck with a copper slug dipped in silver. The actual silver weight (AGW) mattered to commerce more than 2,000 years ago.
This coin is solid silver. The fouree ones usually look like the terminator after a fight now, with a thin lustrous skin peeling away from decayed core of blackness. Who was making these fakes? The money minters to pocket the difference? The government as a policy? Private mints making counterfeits? Someone always tries to mess with the money.

Rome In The 1st Century - Episode 1: Order From Chaos (ANCIENT HISTORY DOCUMENTARY)
Millions of people played important parts in the remarkable history of Rome in the first century AD. Head and shoulders above everyone else stands Augustus.
Born to an unremarkable family, Augustus got a lucky break when his great-uncle, Julius Caesar, adopted him. When Caesar was murdered shortly afterwards, Augustus threw himself into the murderous mix of Roman politics.
Allying himself with Mark Antony, they killed their enemies and divided the empire between them. Augustus took Rome and Antony took Egypt, where he met Cleopatra. This made him a threat. Augustus was not prepared to take any chances and attacked first. His army destroyed most of the Egyptian fleet and Antony and Cleopatra killed themselves shortly afterwards.
Returning home, Augustus was a hero and soon became Rome’s first emperor. Abroad, he expanded the empire enormously, while domestically he played the politics carefully, using popular acclaim to reinforce his power.
Augustus was a complex man: brutal but compassionate, and austere but popular. In public, he was a religious and moral conservative, projecting himself as a pious man. In private, his daughter, Julia, was having a string of affairs.
Above all, though, Augustus was determined. When Julia’s behavior became a scandal, he banished her from Rome for life. Shortly afterwards, the famous poet Ovid published some indecent poetry: he, too, was banished for life.
Against all odds, Augustus ruled as Emperor for over 40 years, surviving plots, rebellions and mutinies. When he died, he was declared to be a god. His rule created the image of Imperial Rome that lasts to this day. He was the Emperor by which his heirs would be judged.
