<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2512535, member: 19463&quot;]Many have coins that were issued for a few days but the unusual part of this one is our being able to specify which few days with more accuracy.&nbsp; Coins were issued with special types for special events certainly including distributions of donatives.&nbsp; The best have some legend variation, as does the OP, to help.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My Domitian carries the title of Augustus so it dates after the death of Titus in September but shows he has designated assumption of a Consulship on January 1 so the coin falls before that date.&nbsp; The special case here is the coin lacks the title TRP but there are others of this type that do bear it so this one falls after September and before the date Domitian assumed TRP.&nbsp; Not all emperors used the same date for this.&nbsp; I would have expected Domitian to have taken it on the same day he took AVG but it seems he did not.&nbsp; Research needed.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]534625[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
