Rome Mint, 74 AD

RIC 705 (R). BMC 150. RSC 161. BNC 123.
Acquired from Roma Numismatics, January 2009.
This reverse echos the Tribute Penny reverse of Tiberius. A fairly difficult coin to locate, rated rare by the RIC.
Not in the best of conditions, but I like the portrait and it is well-centered.
