RIC II 736.
Rarity factor : R2
One of the classic Minerva types but with a very rare legend combination (TRP XI and IMP XXII), minted during only a few days.
I was looking for this one for a while. A few came around but the last bar of the XXII was, in all cases except this one, poorly clear (something of a scratch rather than a neat one).
This one is much clearer.labienus
