    I have wanted a coin of Trajan with FORT RED reverse for a while. For some reason other coins took priority in auctions. That all changed last weekend when the only coin I wanted was this.

    Trajan AR denarius, 116 AD.

    Obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GERM DAC, laureate, draped bust right.
    Rev: PARTHICO P M TR P COS VI P P SPQR - Fortuna seated left,
    holding rudder and cornucopiae. FORT RED in ex.

    RIC II, 315; RSC 150; BMCRE 634; Sear 3139 var

    17 mm, 2,80 g

    A number of other Emperors also have a FORT RED reverse, so post your FORT RED reverse, Trajan or otherwise.

    Nice coin! I have had my eye on a few at auction but never pulled the trigger. This might push me in that direction now.
