<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3633475, member: 74968&quot;]Just bought this one. I liked this one because the Minerva on the reverse is not one you see everyday. If you look closely you can see that Minerva holds victory in her hand. I quite like this depiction of Minerva. It adds some variety to the series. While not ultra-rare, this is a scarce coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing I like about this coin is the portrait. The portraits of coins struck in the first couple of years of Domitian&#039;s reign are interesting and youthful in appearance. This is in stark contrast with the superb even regal portraits one sees on the coins of 85-88 CE. Another unusual reverse type I would like to get is the Maia reverse holding a dove. They are exceedingly rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins that you bought because of the reverse type.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian AR Denarius 82 CE First Issue</p><p>Rome</p><p>3.13 g</p><p>Obv: Head Laureate right; IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG PM</p><p>Rev: Minerva stg left with victory and spear, at feet shield; TR POT COS VIII</p><p>RIC 99 (R)</p><p>Purchased from Ebay August 2, 2019</p><p>[ATTACH=full]974699[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
