RIC 1485 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]
AR Denarius 3.28g
Ephesus (?) mint, 76 AD  
Obv: T CAES IMP VESP CENS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r., 'o' mint mark below neck 
Rev: FIDES PVBL; Hands clasped over caduceus, two poppies and two corn ears
RIC 1485 (R). BMC p. 102 note. RSC 87. RPC 1459 (2 spec.). BNC 375.
Ex eBay, October 2016.

A rare type copied from Rome and struck presumably at Ephesus, although the identity of the mint is not certain. The issue is often wrought with mistakes in the form of blundered legends and mules. This denarius is unusually correct!

Stylish portrait and nearly full legends.
