I've been on the hunt for an affordable example of this iconic Flavian type for sometime. Luckily, I recently was able to acquire one! https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159677

It has a few flaws, but I think overall it's a fine example of the type.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Also, after closely examining the coin this evening I realised the reverse legend actually reads COS XVI not XV, making this a later rarer issue of the type! All previous auction houses and dealers had missed this small detail too. As a specialist I should know better! The coin is now correctly attributed!

That's funny, because the same thing happened to me, although the legend was even clearer...
