[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3404480, member: 93702"]Beautiful coin with an unusually well done reverse! Hard for me to add anything as my coins are not of the highest quality. But I really do love this portrait of Nerva. Famous for the hawkish nose that actually looks quite comical on many of his coins.. Who knows - but I think this portrait looks more realistic (at least to me). Far from a perfect coin but one that I enjoy owning. [ATTACH=full]904112[/ATTACH] [B]Nerva (96-8 AD), brass dupondius, Rome mint, struck Jan. - Sep. 97 AD, 28mm, 11.08g[/B] [B]Obverse:[/B] Radiate head of Nerva to right, legend: IMP NERVA CAES AVG PM TR P I COS III PP [B]Reverse:[/B] Fortuna standing l., holding rudder and cornucopiae, legend: FORTVNA AVGVST / S C [B]Reference:[/B] Coh 69, RIC II 84 Ex Stacks auction ("James Dines collection"), March 7-8, 1969.[/QUOTE]
