Tiberius is an emperor whom I don't collect much; I probably only have 3 or 4.  I have a respectable, unphotographed as from the early part of my collection.  From the photographed part, not much.

Here's a decrepit large provincial.  The Alexandria Tet is too ghastly to bother posting.

TIBERIUS AE 'heavy dupondius'. Struck at Augusta Emerita, Spain. laureate bust left. Reverse - AVGVSTA EMERITA, large city gate. 35mm, 24.4g.

Happy B-Day you tyrant! 

Tiberius has been on my want list, so I picked up this bad shape one but I love the way it looks.

Weight: 9.45 g

Diameter: 32.50 mm

Obverse; TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VII, bare head left.

This is a rare provincial bronze of Tiberius that I sold at CNG Triton XXIV ☺️. Be sure to check out the video 😉.

I do not have the famous tribute penny and I don't think I will get one (personal choice - if a coin is common but expensive, it becomes unattractive for me). 

My favorite Tiberius coins are this Commagene dupondius 

 

And a Thessalonica with Livia on reverse .

Happy birthday to Tiberius. He had the unenviable task of filling the shoes of Augustus, and not surprisingly found it a difficult and discouraging task. He acquired a bad reputation but in actual fact he was, relatively speaking, a capable administrator.

Struck AD 16-21

Reverse: PONTIF MAXIM, female figure seated right, holding vertical scepter and branch, on chair with plain legs above double line

Happy birthday to a hapless emperor!

I haven't shown this denarius in a while, which I refuse to call a "tribute penny" (a term mostly invented to market these to religious people not otherwise interested in ancient coins):

Tiberius, Roman Empire, denarius, 15–18 AD, Lyon mint. Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS, laureate portrait right. Rev: PONTIF MA[XIM], Livia as Pax seated right on chair with ornately decorated legs, holding sceptre (or spear) and branch. 18mm, 2.8g. Ref: RIC I Tiberius 28; RSC II 16b; Sear 1763; Giard: Le monnayage de l'atelier de Lyon 1 (1983), group 2, 146.

The tribute penny was most likely an Augustus denarius anyway, those were more likely to have established circulation in the region rather then the brand new Tiberius ones.
