<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7846421, member: 19463&quot;]Only recognized as a separate mint issue about 30 years ago, there are some rather nice denarii of Pertinax from Alexandria.&nbsp; They are distinguished by style and seem to be as common as the ones from Rome.&nbsp; It is just a matter of taste but I prefer the Alexandrian style denarii.&nbsp; As usual with coins from this mint, Pertinax is shown with a rather protruding eye.&nbsp; A surprisingly high percentage of these are correctly identified by larger dealers. </p><p>PROVID DEOR COS II Providentia standing left</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350639[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>OPI DIVIN TRP COS II Ops seated left - This is the more popular type since it does double duty showing Ops (wealth) who appears on very few Roman coins.&nbsp; Antoninus Pius has some but the Pertinax is easier to find.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350640[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
