orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 12:56 pm I have have been looking for one of these for a while. The last one I found was misattributed as RIC 921. RIC 922 has "Caes" in the obverse legend instead of "Caesar". Even though it was misattributed the buyer was a Flavian specialist and knew what is was so I did not win it. I so happens that a little while ago a friend picked up his second example of this coin. Last week he reached out to me after an exchange on Forum about the coin I missed, which included the person who bought the coin I missed. (Yes, ancient coin collecting is a small world.) Anyway, he made me a great offer, he was willing to sell me one of his 2 examples of this coin. My sincere thanks goes out to him for his willingness to reach out and offer me this rare coin. So here it is, my Domitian Pegasus. AR Denarius, 3.31g Rome mint, 76-77 AD (Vespasian) RIC 922 (R2). BMC - . RSC - . Obv: CAES AVG F DOMITIANVS; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r. Rev: COS IIII; Pegasus, standing r. Ex: Koelner Munzkabinett 05/18 Report this Post to the Staff
