RIC 359a Divus Vespasian [Titus] Engraver's Error
|
AR Denarius, 2.92g
Rome Mint, 79-80 AD
Obv: DIVVS AVGVSPVS (sic) VESPASIANVS; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: Column mounted by shield and topped by urn, flanked by two laurels; in field, EX, on shield, S C
RIC 359a (C). BMC 124. RSC 149. BNC 98.
Ex Private Collection.
A Divus Vespasian denarius struck by Titus with an interesting engraver's error in the obverse legend - 'P' instead of 'T' in AVGVSTVS. Almost certainly unique to this one die. The style and weight are good - so, an official product of Rome.
Worn, but all the major devices are intact.
