Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > Jay GT4 > 04. Vespasian-by RIC number
RIC 1556 Vespasian denarius
IMP CAES VESP AVG P M COS IIII
Laureate Head of Vespasian right

VESTA 
Vesta standing. left, with simpulum and sceptre

Antioch 72-73 CE

2.96g; 20-21mm

RIC 1556 (R3)

Double struck. Centering line still visible on reverse

Ex-Olympus Auction 4 lot 551 (mistakenly attributed as the common RIC 360 from the Rome mint)

Very rare.  RIC cites one example from CNG 61, 25 September 2002, lot 1689.  Since then a second example has appeared in the Atherton collection.  This is the 3rd known example of the type although not a die match to the other 2 specimens.
