RIC 0847 Vespasian (2)
AR Denarius, 3.08g
Rome Mint, 76 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: COS VII across field; Eagle head l. standing on thunderbolt, on Altar. Very uncommon with thunderbolt showing.
RIC 847 (C2). BMC 180. RSC 121. BNC 156. 
Acquired from Marc Walter, December 2016.

RIC describes this type as eagle with thunderbolt in claws. More commonly this type is seen without thunderbolt, as seen here. Oddly, it is not mentioned  that there are two different variants in the catalogue.

Struck on a large flan in good mid-period style.
