TRAJAN, A.D. 98-117. AR Denarius (3.20 gms), Rome Mint, A.D. 116. NGC AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5.RIC-364 var. (bust type); RSC-315a. Obverse: Laureate bust right, wearing aegis; Reverse: Providentia standing left, pointing to globus to left, holding scepter, and resting elbow upon column to right. An entrancing piece with a seldom encountered bust type for Trajan, this specimen presents little in the way of handling along with great brilliance. Assuredly worthy of intense focus and consideration.
