A small issue of quadrantes dated COS VIII were struck for Titus sometime in 80 or 81. Although the frequency rating in RIC is listed as 'common' for this Minerva type, the denomination as a whole is fairly uncommon for Titus. Their rarity today is likely a result of them being of low value and typically not hoarded.
