Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 01:58 am Nice early denarius from the second year of his reign (98-99), when he had to maintain his adoptive relation to Nerva to keep the approval of the Senate. Easy on the eyes too! IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM, laureate head right PM TRP COS II P P, Victory seated left holding patera and palm. RIC 10 Unusually clear reverse strike for this time period, and of very fine artistic merit. I'd be keeping this one if I didn't like the Arab ADQ one better! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 04:11 am @Finn, I'm not sure about how much rev detail usually exists on these, but I agree that this example has amazingly great remaining detail--even to the point of the different parts of Victory's stool.
