ROMAN EMPIRE, Trajan, Fouree Denarius
Obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIMO AVG GER DAC
Rev: P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R
Felicitas stg. l. holding cauduceus and cornucopiae

17mm 2.6g
Ancient counterfeit of RIC II 343
Minted after 114 A.D.

Despite the numerous breaks in the plating I find this coin highly attractive. The dies are beautifully engraved, the toning is nice, and the obverse shows an area where the silver foil was folded over the flan.
