Ancient Rome - 81-96 CE Domitian AR Denarius NGC AU - rare reverse type!

Domitian AR Denarius. Rome, AD 88. The obverse features IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VIII around, with the laureated head of Domitian facing to right. The reverse features COS XIIII LVD SAEC FEC around, with a herald advancing to left, holding wand and shield. Very Scarce and arguably the best example we have been able to trace.
