Description XP - Trajan - Radiate Head of Sol Denarius - Scarce Click here for a larger size image of this lot * Trajan, 98-117 AD, as Augustus - AR Denarius, 3.08g. * Obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GER DAC PARTHICO; Laureate, draped, right facing bust of Trajan. * Rev: PM TR P COS VI PP SPQR; Radiate, draped, right facing bust of Sol. * RIC II #342, RSC #267, Cohen #267 (6 Fr.), Unlisted in Sear * An interesting and unusual type struck during the period 114-117 AD. The radiate head of Sol was a theme familiar to the masses and used by many emperors to associate themselves with the positive attributes of Sol. To give a general indication of the scarcity of this coin; of the 5,205 denarii of Trajan accounted for in the Reka-Devnia horde, only 3 of this type were found. This coin has an natural dark toning that creates an interesting contrast. The few times I have seen this coin available, it was typically estimated at over $200. This nice example should be in your collection. This is a No Reserve auction. Money Order, Check or PayPal are acceptable for payment. I charge $2 for shipping. Foreign shipments will be made only by Global Priority for a fee of $5. Registered foreign shipment - $8, unless you discuss other arrangements with me first.Click here for our other auction listings... Click here to visit our website, Chi-Rho Coins.... Love Ancients?
