[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2295216, member: 72818"]While browsing through some of the listings of a new favorite seller, I noticed this denarius which was unfamiliar to me. I asked for elaboration from the seller but since I haven't heard back, I decided to research it a bit on my own---to no avail. I've been reminded, while browsing, that there are literally thousands, if not millions, of variations that I've forgotten about or never knew existed. Yet, I still have not found one matching example of this coin, presumably due to my inept skills as a researcher. The owner only states it is a denarius of Trajan of 18mm and 3.41 grams. I have downloaded and enlarged the photo since the legends are difficult to read and apparently of that peculiarly annoying mixture of Latin and Greek (and perhaps errors and unique abbreviations). I assume that someone probably already owns one and can immediately identify it. It seems to resemble a style from Crete, but that may just be a coincidence. Does anyone recognize this type??
