I have found what appears to be a Tiberius Ceasar Bible Tribute Penny. I can’t seem to find the exact one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's amazing. I also do metal detecting, but as a US resident I can only imagine what it must be like to dig up an ancient.

Feeling very fortunate indeed.

The various types are distinguished by small differences in the reverse design. Yours features a throne with ornate legs and a three-layer base; the female figure holds an inverted spear. Like this one, which has been my avatar here for some years.

[IMG]
Tiberius, AD 14-37.
Roman AR Denarius, 3.87 g, 18.5 mm, 5 h.
Lugdunum, AD 16-37.
Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS, laureate head, right.
Rev: PONTIF MAXIM, Female figure seated right, holding long olive branch and inverted spear; legs of chair ornate, triple line below.
Refs: RIC 28; BMCRE 42-44; RSC 16b; RCV 1763 var.
Notes: The identity of the female figure on the reverse is uncertain and has been variously identified as Livia, Justitia or Pax.

Thanks very much 😁. Could find many similar variations but not the exact one.

That’s a lovely example. Seem to be fewer of these variations around, hence the problem pinning it down. Thanks again for the help.
