Vespasian RIC II 0681
Vespasian 69-79 A.D. AR Denarius, Rome Mint, 74 A.D. (2.90g, 21.1m, 6h). Obv: IMP CAESAR VESP AVG, laureate head right. Rev: COS V across field between two laurel trees.  RIC II 681, BMC 133, RSC 110.  

Despite the odd shaped flan, I like this coin.  The Flavians used a number of older reverse types, and this is an exact copy of a reverse from Augustus.  Two laurel trees were planted outside Augustus’ door during his reign.  Despite the wear on this coin, both the obverse and reverse legends are complete.
