<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7729470, member: 75937&quot;]This denarius is a new acquisition. It reads COS II, making it among the first coins issued by Nerva, in AD 96, shortly after the death of Domitian on 18 September. Coins issued later that year bear the titles COS II and DES III, and on 1 January, AD 97, begin the COS III issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1325281[/ATTACH] </p><blockquote><p><font size="3">Nerva, AD 96-98.</font></p><p><font size="3">Roman AR denarius, 3.18 g, 17.5 mm, 7 h.</font></p><p><font size="3">Rome, AD 96, shortly after 18 September.</font></p><p><font size="3">Obv: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS II P P, laureate head, right.</font></p><p><font size="3">Rev: FORTVNA AVGVST, Fortuna, draped, standing left, holding rudder in right hand and cornucopia in left hand.</font></p><p><font size="3">Refs: <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.ner.4_denarius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.ner.4_denarius" rel="nofollow">RIC 4</a>; BMCRE <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1867-0101-1639" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1867-0101-1639" rel="nofollow">10</a>-<a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1912-0710-45" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1912-0710-45" rel="nofollow">11</a>; RSC/Cohen 59; RCV --; CBN --.</font></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Other denarii of this issue include the reverse types of: AEQVITAS AVGVST, CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM with clasped hands (types with and without a legionary eagle and prow), FORTVNA AVGVST with Fortuna seated, FORTVNA P R, IVSTITIA AVGVST, LIBERTAS PVBLICA, and SALVS PVBLICA.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Let&#039;s see your first year issues of any ruler!
