COIN

Unique ID: HAMP-325B12

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A contemporary silver-plated copper-alloy copy of a late 1st-century Roman denarius. The obverse depicts Titus (79-81 AD), while the reverse, 'CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM' is one found on coins of Nerva (96-98 AD). The coin is slightly worn and corroded, with losses to the silver plating.

Notes:

Given that the coin must post-date 95 AD it is tentatively put into Reece issue period 5 (Trajanic).
