<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 3907691, member: 100731&quot;]So this fourree denarius of Trajan has been in my collection for a while. Apart from the copper core breaking through, it&#039;s in absolute mint state (and I always lamented it being a fourree). </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I found something odd: I could not find the combination of the obverse and the reverse. So, either my searching skills are poor (which is probably the most likely case), or the AEQVITAS AVGVST reverse is a mule from Nerva. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, the reverse: AEQVITAS AVGVST is, as far as I could find, only issued during the reign of Nerva: at <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=rev_legendCondensed_text%3AAEQVITASAVGVST" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=rev_legendCondensed_text%3AAEQVITASAVGVST" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/results?q=rev_legendCondensed_text:AEQVITASAVGVST</a>, there are three aureii and four denari, so seven coins in total, all minted during the reign of Nerva. </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is probably: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P (quite a mouthfull...). </p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s the coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1029980[/ATTACH]</p><p>Diameter 19mm; weight 2.43g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
