<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 6890640, member: 102867"]I love to search for rarities in unknown places. That was rewarded a few weeks ago, when I found this very rare Domitian denarius. It concerns a denarius from the first months (possibly weeks) of Domitian's reign. This coin is rare for two reasons, firstly because it contains the legend PONT. Second, because it contains a rare reverse legend, namely: P P COS VII DES VIII. This is the fourth or fifth example known.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272844[/ATTACH]</p><p>Domitian 81-96</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>Struck 81 AD</p><p>IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG PONT</p><p>Head of Domitian, laureate.</p><p>P P COS VII DES VIII</p><p>Seat, draped; above, semicircular frame decorated with three crescents</p><p>3,46g/18mm</p><p>Ric 16 (R2)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want more information on Domitian's 81 denarii check out this thread by [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-year-denarii-of-domitian.345758/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-year-denarii-of-domitian.345758/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-year-denarii-of-domitian.345758/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>When I have time I try to take better pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
