Rare Domitian Cistophorus Capitol reverse
« on: October 19, 2018, 11:37:25 am »
Hello everyone.

Thirteen years ago I added to my collection my first cystophorus with the temple of Capitoline Jupiter on reverse (RIC D 841 in my gallery).

After a long wait I finally managed to acquire even the rarer RIC D 842, which differs from the other to have the right to a legend without indication of the consulate.

Moreover this coin is quite attractive, well struck on broad flan, with an appealing cabinet tone.

I'm really pleased to share it here.

Kind regards

Alberto

I thought about going after this one, but I had other fish to fry in this auction. Congrats!

Thanks David for not bidding on it; nonetheless the coin went pretty high...

Cheers
