David Atherton Posted September 9 · Member Share Posted September 9 (edited) This one was such a sweet addition. Nice Quinarii are very special and quite difficult to come by ... even more so with hints of rainbow toning. Domitian AR Quinarius, 1.45g Rome mint, 86 AD Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P V; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r. Rev: IMP XI COS XII CENS P P P; Victory adv. r., with wreath and palm RIC 433 (C). BMC 92. RSC 197. BNC 94. Acquired from CGB, August 2024. A rare Victory quinarius from the first silver issue of 86. Unusually, the obverse and reverse legends mirror the denarii. In hand. Please feel free to share your quinarii or rainbow toned coins! As always, thank you for looking!
