Denarius of Trajan

This is coin number two from the group sent in by Diane. It’s another Roman denarius, which is slightly later in date than the first one.

This is a coin of Trajan, whose dates are 98 to 117 AD. On the obverse the legend reads IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P around the laureate head of the emperor.

On the reverse the figure of Roma holds the tiny figure of Victory in one hand and an inverted spear in the other. The legend on this side reads COS V PP SPQR OPTIMO PRINC. This type was struck at Rome during 107 AD.

Valuation

The obverse is nicely toned; the reverse has a small area of black deposit but the coin is otherwise in better than Fine condition.  As it stands, my price range would be £35-45.
