Home > Members' Coin Collection Galleries > David Atherton > 1. The Reign of Vespasian - Imperial Coins
RIC 1060 Vespasian
AR Denarius, 2.75g
Rome mint, 79 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, l.
Rev: TR POT X COS VIIII; Capricorn l.; below, globe
RIC 1060 (R). BMC 252. RSC 556. BNC 218.
Ex eBay, November 2012.

A denarius from Vespasian's last issue struck before his death in June 79. It copies an Augustan reverse design featuring Capricorn his natal sign. A rare left facing portrait variety of the type. Perhaps scarcer than the RIC frequency rating of 'Rare'?

Worn but well centred with nice chocolate toning. Much better in hand.
