Otho AR denarius, 

IMP OTHO CAESAR AVG TR P, bare head right
PONT MAX, Ceres standing left, holding corn ears in right hand, 
cornucopiae in left. Silver version of RIC 20 (an aureus).

RIC 20, silver. 

Notes: Although the commonest PONT MAX reverse type, RIC 
erroneously suggested it does not exist at all in silver. 
This is a beautiful coin, although Otho looks slightly 
too neat to my liking on this particular die. JM.
