Trajan, Sestertius, RIC II 631315 viewsObv:- Laureate and bust right
Rev:- PORTVM - TRAIANI, three ships within hexagonal harbor framed by two-story arcades; temples surmounted by statues on either side below.
RIC II 631
Sold on ebay by Numis18 in February 2007.
The following comments provided by Curtis Clay:-
"The rev. appears to be entirely re-engraved from another type, that is totally modern.
The obv., in contrast, is pretty much intact and quite nice. If the original rev. had been left, it would have been an attractive and valuable coin! "

Bust: Bare head of Antony right.
Rev: CAESAR IMP PONT III VIR R P C
Bust: Bare head of Octavian right
Mint: Ephesus Date: Spring - Summer 41 BC.
Ref: RSC 8, Syd 1181, Cr517/2
The coin appears to have been created by someone without a good reference and is completely fake. This was an authentic coin however, the jewelry tooled and carved in the details without a good reference. The original coin portraits are not smiling, as on this altered version, although both Mark Antony and Octavian do look rather pleased with themselves. 11/05/15 at 09:38Joseph Sermarini: Ask questions on the discussion board.
