IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V PP ?

RIC 487?  Not sure because Sear shows this as both a Sestertius and a Dupondius but not as an As. I can't really see a radiate crown which would make it a Dupondius but it is too small to be a sestertius.

BMC 925-6, pl. 36.2. Cohen 387-8. RIC 486 (for both the sestertius and the As).

Not a particularly rare coin, I think.
