<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 8312327, member: 82616&quot;]Domitianic coins are probably the least favoured Flavian coins here on CT, but how can you dislike a lovely coin such as this?

This very common as from early 82 is typical of these initial bronze issues featuring a decent to fine style portrait and a standard cult image of Minerva on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your &#039;boring&#039; coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
