The Roman silver coins were not Republic. In the Late Republic Rome had two gold coins (the denarius and quinarius), two silver coins (the denarius and sestertius), five bronze coins (the as, semis, triens, quadrans, quincux and uncia) and a brass coin, the dupondius. The first Roman Emperor, Augustus, scrapped the the triens, quincux and uncia. He turned the sestertius and dupondius into coins made of orichalcum (a golden coloured copper-alloy) and the as into a pure copper coin. The semis was produced infrequently and was no longer issued by the time of Hadrian. The quadrans was also produced sporadically and only up to the time of Antoninus Pius. Augustus also introduced a new gold coin, the Aureus. The monetary system introduced by Augustus was replaced by a new system introduced by the emperor Diocletian (reigned 284-305 AD).

It seemed as if everyone who did anything in ancient Rome issued some type of coin. Augustus was no exception. Coins were a means of communication as well as money. They had the head of an individual on one side and something that that person did on the reverse. It was a way to "spread the word" about what the emperor or general did.It seemed as if everyone who did anything in ancient Rome issued some type of coin. Augustus was no exception.

A PF-70 coin means that the coin is proof (it is a coin that has not been circulated and it has a mirror like shiny finish on it) and that its rating is 70 out of 70 because you grade coins on a scale of 0-70. If you have a PF-70 coin that means that it's perfect, so you should not spend it!
