Summary

Silver denarius struck during the reign of the Emperor Trajan in the period 112 to 117 AD, Ancient Roman Empire. Minted by Rome. Trajan was Consul for the sixth time (COS VI on this coin) and last time in 112 AD. Therefore this coin was produced in the period 112 to 117 AD. The military reverse type is considered to relate to Trajan's campaigns in the East and suggest production could be 114-117 AD or perhaps to his departure for the East in 113 AD.
