Vespasian "°" mint denarius COTD
« on: July 09, 2020, 10:43:38 am »
Hello everyone,

after a while I've been finally able to add another great example of this series, which is by far my favorite among Vespasian issues of denarii.

The coin is struck on a short flan, otherwise it's absolutely amazing.

I'm very pleased to share it here

Alberto

A very nice example! I love these 'O' mint denarii. I only have 2 in my collection but I am always on the lookout for more. It is an excellent series.

The O mint is also my favorite series from the Flavians.  I have several in my collection. Great example Alberto!
