Benefactor LONGINUS Posted November 8, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Nerva coins appear to be the least common of the Five Good Emperors. When searching VCoins, only 5 pages of Nerva related coins were displayed. This makes sense considering Nerva’s reign was only 16 months. Trajan, who ruled for 19 years, has 31 pages of related coins on the VCoins site. Antoninus Pius ruled for 23 years and has 28 pages of coins, Hadrian, who ruled for 21 years has 24 pages, and Marcus Aurelius, having ruled for 19 years has 13 pages of related coins on the VCoins site. Anyway, I feel fortunate to have my modest collection. Please post your Nerva coins and your comments.
