<p>[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 5283913, member: 99456"]I don't know of a coin for Trajan struck only in year 117 (last year of reign) - I do have one of Hadrian from 117 (first year of reign). Curious to know if there is such a coin. Here's one struck AD 116-117 according to CNG and AD 114-117 according to RIC II Online (<a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.332" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.332" rel="nofollow">Trajan 332</a>).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221503[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Trajan, AD 98-117</b>, AR denarius, struck AD 114-117</p><p><b>Obv:</b> IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIM AVG GER DAC, bust of Trajan, laureate, draped, right</p><p><b>Rev:</b> PARTHICO P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R, Felicitas, draped, standing left, holding caduceus up in right hand and cornucopiae in left</p><p><b>Ref: </b>RIC II <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.332" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.332" rel="nofollow">332</a></p><p><b>Note:</b> the lettering on this coin is pretty sloppy in general - the R's especially the one in SQPR look a lot like Q turned R.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Next: </b>coin of a die maker with poor lettering skills[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
