comptech0408 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 05/17/2016 3:01 pm Hello again Community! First of all, thank you so much for the help you have already provided me. I have been able to now identify a few of my coins on my own, but a few still puzzle me. This is such a one. I was hoping it was silver, but I can see what looks like rust on the obverse, so I'm not sure. If anyone can shed some light on who this is, and what is on the reverse, I would be very grateful. A RIC or Sear number would really be helpful too! Thank you so much! Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/17/2016 3:56 pm I think I see -ITAN(US)- in the obverse legend. How big is it? I'm getting an as or provincial feel from it. Seems like a personal and realistic portrait; 3rd century emperors were basically cookie cutter portraits with different legends. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/17/2016 5:31 pm Reverse seems like it's possibly Minerva with spear and thunderbolt, with shield at her side. Similar to the Domitian reverse types on these: http://www.coinproject.com/siteimages/41-21.jpg http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...03190z00.jpg http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImpe...an/Z3865.jpg http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImpe...an/C0124.jpg I'm not suggesting that the OP is AR, or a denarius, or Domitian...just speculating on the reverse type...
