             Trajan denarius - Nerva-like bust

             Trajan, AD 98-117. A silver denarius from early in the reign
             attributed as RIC 11.

             Obv: Laureate head right with legend IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN
             AVG GERM.

             Rev: Abundantia seated left holding sceptre on chair made of
             crossed cornucopia, fold of drapery over lap. Legend is PONT
             MAX TR POT COS II.

             MARCVS VLPIVS TRAIANVS, born near Seville, Spain in 52 to
             Marcia and Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, pursued a military career
             and was appointed Governor of Germania Superior by Nerva in
             97 shortly before being adopted by him. He became Augustus
             upon Nerva's death on January 25, 98. Although best known
             for adding Dacia to the Empire by a series of wars
             (101-106), he also built many public works and administrated
             ably. The Empire reached its maximum size in 117 after his
             Parthian victories (114-117). He died on August 8, 117, was
             deified, and buried in his monumental column in Rome.

   [Image]   Coin is a nice VF although the reverse is unevenly struck
             becoming weaker from right to left. Very Nerva-like bust
             with the typical Nerva scowl and beak-like nose.
