<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 8100893, member: 74968&quot;]First I want to thank [USER=88526]@Jay GT4[/USER] for alerting me when this coin popped up for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you know I collect coins of Domitian, and that I really like the denarii of Domitian&#039;s first year as Augustus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of these are very rare and this one is no exception. I think this one might be the fifth one known. I deliberately try to find the rare ones so that is another box ticked.</p><p><br /></p><p>I deliberately collect the &quot;PONT&quot; denarii. All of the PONT denarii are either very rare or extremely rare. Look at the obverse legend. I have several PONT denarii, but it has taken more than 2 years to acquire another. If you see one, grab it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I also avidly collect all of the Domitian denarii with the reverse you see below.Notice it is not one of the standard Minerva poses that Dominate the denarii of Domitian. This one is Minvera holding victory. I think there is a lot of charm in this reverse type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your favorite reverse type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR Denarius</p><p>(3.24g)</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG PONT, Kopf mit Lorbeerkranz n. r.</p><p>Rev: TR P COS VII DES VIII P P, Minerva steht mit Schild, Lanze und Victoriola n. l.</p><p>RIC 60</p><p>Purchased from Kolner Munzcabinet</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1408634[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
