A Sestertius of Nerva

Thanks again, everybody, for posting your coins of Nerva.
All are great examples of the coin of this emperor!

Here are my two Nervas, a denarius and a bronze, I hope you will enjoy !

 

@PMONNEY I would like to see the reverses of the coins you show. Sometimes it's the reverses that make a coin special.

 

You may be disappointed ! I buy coins mainly to complete my portrait gallery.

 

No disappointment. Like I said, the reverses are just as important especially for attribution and date

 

Nerva ae 26...its an old topic..still nice to show your Nerva..

 

I also happen to have a didrachm with an interesting portrait. It depicts Eleutheria on the reverse. Also attached my first ever Nerva....

very nice..

 

I've posted this before, but I love it so I'll post again. It appears to be a barbarian imitation of a Nerva, which is quite unusual. I chose my screen name because there was a Republican monneyer called Nerva, as well as an emperor; I'm not particularly a specialist. But I also like his portrait a lot, and I'm keen to get more of his coins. The right ones haven't come along yet, but I have my eye on a couple in September sales. Fingers crossed!

 

Since this old thread has been brought up I'll post my other sestertius of Nerva.

This one bearing LIBERTAS PVBLICA on reverse, and with a deep jade patina. It is, however, the style of the bust which I find most interesting:
