<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2447738, member: 57495&quot;]This past week my wife and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary.&nbsp; I chose this coin as my anniversary present from her; a Trajan &#039;Bridge over the Danube&#039; bronze having been long on my want list.&nbsp; I also thought it was kind of appropriate, since I see marriage as very much like building a bridge (and keeping it well-maintained).&nbsp; Yes, it&#039;s pretty rough and battered-up, but for what it is, I think those issues are minor.&nbsp; Uhm, talking about the coin there...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I do believe I received the better gift.&nbsp; I suspect a toaster is not the kind of wedding anniversary present most women will be bragging about to their friends <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]511282[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>TRAJAN&nbsp; </b></p><p>AE As</p><p>11.16g, 28.8mm</p><p>Rome mint, AD 107-110</p><p>RIC 569; Cohen 543</p><p>O: IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V P P, laureate bust right, draped on left shoulder.</p><p>R: S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, arched, single-span bridge with seven posts across Danube River; single-bay arches at either end, surmounted by statues; boat moored below; SC in exergue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
