<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1160476, member: 5739&quot;]Okay, I looked all over wildwinds trying to find this coin with this bust type, but they all show the bust &#039;seen from behind&#039; with full drapery (alot of them also describe Providentia as leaning on a column, but even the pictures they show along with the reference show her standing with a long sceptre like in my example). </p><p>This one is clearly &#039;seen from the front&#039; and has only slight drapery, and looks exactly like a bust style used on coins of Hadrian, such as this example I am showing at the bottom with the blue backround.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I wanted to see if anyone can give me a proper reference and info on this coin?</p><p>I also was wondering what you guys think of it? It&#039;s only my second coin of Trajan, and I like it more than my Aeternitas holding the head of Sol and Luna one. I like the bust the most, I always loved this bust on the Hadrian issues and had never even seen it on a Trajan Denarius.</p><p><br /></p><p>here is the only info I have on this guy:</p><p>------</p><p>Emperor Trajan ( 98 - 117 A.D.) </p><p>Silver Denarius, Rome Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GER DAC PARTHICO</p><p>rev: P M TR P COS VI P P SPQR - PRO-VID across field</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight: 3.08 Grams</p><p>------</p><p><br /></p><p>*The last photo with blue backround is a Hadrian coin I have with a similar bust style, sometimes called &#039;Heroic Bust&#039; style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
