Rare Domitian Aegis Portrait Denarius

Possibly the second known example of an aegis portrait Minerva (M3) denarius type from 95-96. I was quite thrilled to land it!

As always, thank you for looking!

Nice score! Do you know if it's a die-match to the RIC coin?

It's a die match with Alberto's piece linked above which is cited in the Addenda & Corrigenda. Not a surprise considering how rare this variant is!
