2 more rare coins of Domitian

Here's my I-don't-think-it's-rare Minerva reverse. I like Domitian's smug smirk:

A nice coin @Roman Collector

It is RIC 724 and is listed as common. My guess would be that it would not be common with that obverse legend error however. RIC does not make a note of it in the listing or footnotes.

 

Domitian (81-96). Denarius. Rome. Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P XI, laureate head right. Rev: IMP XXII COS XVI CENS P P P, Minerva standing right on capital of rostral column, holding spear and shield; at feet, owl. RIC 736. Weight: 3.1 g.

 

Nice one! Congrats, that is as rare as mine in another thread- RIC 738-just a different Minerva pose.
