Genuine - Lost or Stolen: Domitian CENS POTES reverse616 viewsSilver denarius, Rome, app. May 85 A.D., Carradice 85.3, RIC 65, BMC -, RSC 180b
IMP·CAES·DOMIT·AVG·GERM·P·M·TR·P·IIII· laureate head right, with aegis
IMP·VIIII·COS·XI·CENS·POTES·P·P·, Minerva 4, Ex. Jonathan Kern


This coin was lost or stolen in the US or transit mail to Romania in 2003. For the normal collector or dealer it is not easy to separate it from the mass of all those Domitian Minerva denarii, however the reverse legend is very rare CENS POTES P P instead of CENS P P P or CENS POT P P. This coin is property of Alexandru Marian and am offering a reward for any information that might help me retrieve it.
