Egypt. Alexandria. Trajan, 98-117. Drachm (Bronze, 35.00 mm, 18.53 g). RY 17 = AD 113/4. ΑΥΤ TPAIAN CEB ΓEPM ΔAKIK Radiate bust right, aegis on left shoulder. Rev. ЄIPHNH KAI OMONOIA Eirene draped and wearing wreath of grain, holding two grain ears in her left hand, standing right and clasping right hand with Homonoia, standing left, draped and crowned, cradling double cornucopia with her left arm; [L] IZ (date) between. RPC -. Cf. Dattari-Savio 7008 for obverse type and 868 for reverse (same reverse die?). An apparently unrecorded variant. Very Fine. Ex Roma Numismatics Ltd. E-Sale 53, 7 February 2019, lot 545. This Trajan drachm, of extraordinary large size, image centring and conservation, belongs to the rare Alexandrian imperial series with the radiated imperial bust on the obverse, studied and published on NAC by Staffieri Giovanni Maria, ‘La corona radiata sui ritratti dei bronzi alessandrini’ where it is listed under ‘Staffieri 10’ as the only known specimen of the Dattari collection with year 16 of issue (112-113 AD), while ours has the identical characteristics but is classified under reign year 17 (113-114 AD), so it is to be considered a unique specimen also because it is unknown in the RPC III repertory, of exceptional conservation and with original glossy black patina that strongly highlights the engraved images with all their details. In short, a coin for museum display.
