Athena reverse on Domitian Drachm and Didrachm for Cappadocia
« on: October 27, 2020, 11:26:35 am »
Hello everyone.

During his thirteenth year of reign Domitian had a beautiful series of silver minted in Rome for circulation in Cappadocia.

Most of them are didrachms, with the exception of a single drachm with Athena on reverse.

I finally managed to add this rare coin to my collection, seventeen years after the purchase of the more common didrachm with the same reverse.

Taking the opportunity to add also this "old" coin to my gallery, I'm pleased to share them both here.
