RIC 1469 Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]
|
AR Denarius, 2.74g
Ephesus mint, 74 AD
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
RIC 1469 (R2). BMC 477. RSC -. RPC 856 var. (obv. legend lacks annulet). BNC -.
Ex Gemini IX, 8 January 2012, Harry N. Sneh Collection, lot 429
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!
