Vespasian Denarius Rev: Vespasian seatedVespasian 69-79 Silver Denarius
Obv: IMP CAES VESP AVG CEN, laureate head right,
Rev: PONTIF MAXIM, Vespasian seated right on curule chair, holding scepter and olive-branch, feet on footstool.
RIC II² 545 (C).
Not in RIC II, though similar to 65 (there noted as CENS instead of CEN).
This particular coin was initially recorded as an 'unpublished' variety and one of only two known to Ted Buttrey (the other being a BM acquisition from 1977). A small number of others have since come to light. Still a relatively scarce coin in comparison. OldMoney02/16/19 at 03:53orfew: Very nice!

Julia Domna Denarius R: VestaObv. IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, draped bust of Julia Domna right,
Rev. VESTA, Vesta standing left, holding Palladium and sceptre.
Sear 7108; RIC (Caracalla) 390; RSC 230.
All of the examples I have seen (only about 120+) have the reverse legend arranged 'V-E-S-T-A', or sometimes 'VE-S-T-A', whereas this example, perhaps uniquely for this die, has the arrangement 'VES-TA'.
In any case, a particularly attractive example, with a nicely detailed palladium. OldMoney02/05/19 at 23:50Robin Ayers: great portrait and interesting reverse legend brea...
