RIC 425 (R). BMC 88. RSC 194. BNC -.
A rare denarius from the first issue of 86. It records Domitian's 11th imperial acclamation from the First Dacian War and can be somewhat closely dated between 1 January and the Spring (he received his 12th imperial acclamation between 17 March and 13 May).
The style is a continuation of that seen in the issues of 85 - very idealised with large, high quality portraits.
