Furryfrog02 Posted August 8, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 I love the color and Trajan always has a great bust. Very regal. I like it 🙂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etcherdude Posted August 8, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 A beautiful coin. I think Trajan is wearing a laurel wreath (laureate). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is common that the "spikes" of the radiate crown are not so clearly visible for this type, especially, of course, when there is some wear.
