Acquired from Aegean Numismatics, August 2018.
A decently sized bronze coinage was struck for Vespasian in 74. The Felicitas on the reverse symbolises the prosperity and abundance Vespasian has brought to the empire. It is easily one of the commonest reverse types of the issue.
Well centred with a few marks on the reverse.
