A very rare example with IMP XVI on the reverse also from 88 CE. This one is very slightly later (after November 7 of 88) and is rare but not as elusive as RIC 655. It is a worn coin but it still has a nice look to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>OCRE: 3</p><p>Acsearch: 4</p><p>CNG Archives: 1</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>AR Denarius (19mm, 2.88g, 5h).
