Very nice dude. I like this type. I recently bought one like this because the LCS told me it was Tiberius, after some research and comparisons, it turned out to be the Augustus type, still a nice coin but would have been my first Tiberius! Its ok tho, I since got two!

Yes, the description that went with the coin is incorrect. I must be going blind because I couldn´t see it in RIC. Do you know the reference for it under Augustus? Many thanks in advance

The ref for the Augustus type is RIC I 230  https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).aug.230

It could very well be a Tiberius you got, but its hard to make out the legends in the photo, however the way I identified mine for certain aside from the portrait is most of them had "Ceasar" directly  to the left field for the Augustus type..

Like so..
