RIC 1063 Vespasian
AR Denarius, 2.84g
Rome Mint, 79 AD
Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; Head of Vespasian, laureate, l.
Rev: TR POT X COS VIIII; Ceres, draped, seated l., holding corn-ear and poppy in r. hand and torch upright in l.
RIC 1063 (R). BMC -. RSC -. BNC -.
Ex Private Collection, October 2006.

A denarius from Vespasian's last issue struck before his death in June 79. The type likely refers to the emperor's careful stewardship of the grain supply. Extremely rare with left facing portrait. Missing from the BM and Paris collections and unlisted in RSC. There is one example in Oxford and another known from an R. Ratto sale from 1930.

A wonderful coin in hand, marred slightly by a chip on the obverse. Perhaps a recent detectorist find.
