Titus Quinarius OTD
« on: June 28, 2017, 11:20:04 pm »
Gosh, I love these little quinarii.    https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-138048

I picked this one up a week or so ago and just now got around to attributing and placing it in its new home (a paper envelope). I wish I had as much time to coin in summer as I do in winter!

David what a beautiful little portrait on that RIC 91 (C) quinarius. Instantly recognizable as Titus and not his father, despite the diminutive size of the flan.  The skill of the Flavian die cutters is a constant wonder.

Thanks for sharing,

Steve

A beautiful little quinarius David. Would like to add such an example to my collection some day.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Quinarii are indeed a very special denomination.
