Vespasian RIC II 1475
Vespasian. 69-79 A.D. AR Denarius. . Uncertain Asian Mint (“o” mint) 76 A.D. (2.79g, 18.9mm, 6h ). Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right, small “o” under head (not visible on this example).  Rev: FIDES PVBL; hands clasped over caduceus, two poppies and two corn ears.  RIC II 1475, BMC 490, RSC 163a, RPC 1452.

Another example from the “o” mint which produced a brief series in 76 A.D.  Based on stylistic links, this is thought to have originated from Ephesus, but that is not certain.  All of the coins from this series are scarce.  This specimen is worn, but well centered.
