[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1092327, member: 5739"]I picked this one up last week, just got around to shooting some photos of the reverse.... I quite like the style, I have seen some really nice examples with a similar reverse struck under Hadrian as well. This one isn't in the best of shape, and is missing some of the obv titles, but I like the portrait and it has a nice reverse I think, and I fancied it when I first saw it. ------------------------------------- Roman Empire, Emperor Trajan (98 - 117 A.D.) Silver Denarius, Rome Mint. obv: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P - Laureate bust right, drapery on far shoulder. rev: COS V P P SPQR OPTIMO PRINC - Aeternitas standing facing, head left holding the head of Sol in her right hand(our left) and the head of Luna in her left hand(our right). AET AVG - in fields on either side of Aeternitas. RIC 91, RSC 3 ---------------------------------- I just wanted to share this coin with everyone, but I was also wondering if anyone knows the year this coin was minted? I mean... I know it says 'COS V'.[/QUOTE]
