Titus as Caesar RIC-V1469
AR Denarius
Ephesus mint, 74 AD
RIC V1469 (R2), BMCRE V477, RSC -
Obv - IMP T CAESAR COS III; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r., annulet at tip of bust
Rev - CONCORDIA AVG; Ceres std. l., on ornate high-backed chair, with corn ears and poppy and cornucopiae; below throne, annulet; in exergue, star
aEF

The annulet before the obverse bust is an important distinction, it may signify a new series for Ephesus. For now it is cataloged with Ephesus group 9. The annulet is barely visible in hand.

In wonderful condition with a pleasing style. There seems to be no end to the high quality output from this mint!
