RIC 0683 Vespasian
AR Denarius, 3.20g
Rome mint, 74 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR - VESP AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.
Rev: PON MAX TR P COS V; Vespasian std. r. on curule chair, with sceptre and branch
RIC 683 (R). BMC 135. RSC 363. BNC 109.
Acquired from G&N, January 2012.

A fairly rare obverse legend variant of the seated Vespasian type. The reverse advertises Vespasian as chief priest.

Curtis Clay comments: 'In RD hoard: 61 with the standard obv. legend (VESPASIANVS), only four with VESP. So really quite scarce!'

Lots of character in that portrait despite the wear. Good all round coin and the rarity makes it even better.
