Dear Pekka, Sorry but I am a little bit confused now, it is not a Vespasian coin? It is a Domitian??? The obverse is Vespasian and the reverse is a Domitian Hybrid???

[Pekka K]

See Numiswiki for hybrid: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=hybrid

Yes, obverse is Vespasian, but reverse belongs to Domitian. Not from official mint.

Thanks Pekka so it is not a (Mule) because it is not from an official mint, but how rare is this coin?

Your coin is a modern cast forgery, unfortunately.

For better judgement ,could we have a clearer pic?. Looks to me as a cast and I have seen similar " mules " in illustrious  fake-seller Sadigh Gallery.

I hope these pictures are better

Thanks Lars and Benito, Disappointed and with the bad feeling of being deceived again!!!

I have just read an article on www.academia.edu about these coins explaining that these coins were minted by Vespasian:

For himself or for Domitian ?

[Nero 30]

For himself dear Benito as mentioned in the article.

Thanks. I could only read what appears after clicking on your link . It does mention that Vespasian minted coins with she-wolf and twins but it does not specify more.I´ll try to get further.

[FlaviusDomitianus]

The coin was certainly struck by Vespasian in 77-78 A.D., but in the name of Domitian only.

I'm sorry to say that, but in my opinion your coin is an obvious modern fake.

Kind regards
