A very rare Ephesian denarius of Vespasian
« on: September 20, 2020, 12:05:29 pm »

Hi All, very happy to add this one to my collection. It was, of course, misattributed by the seller. I have found that many of the coins i have for the Flavians were misattributed. This one originally had the star mintmark in the exergue on the reverse. It has been worn off. However, the COS IIII in the obverse legend make this coin a group 7 denarius for Vespasian. There are only 3 coin types in this group (perhaps more types we be added as these are discovered). In fact this coin may be the most common of the group. The other 2 were designated as R3 (one example known to the authors) in RIC II 2007.

Thanks for viewing my post.
