This extremely rare coin is similar to Calicó 956 (laureate bust, with slight drapery on left shoulder), but upon closer inspection, it appears that Nerva is wearing an aegis; thus, it is unlisted. Also, this is the only example of the type in sales archives. A very distinguished portrait of Nerva graces this handsome piece.
