An Unpublished Vespasian COTD

[David Atherton]

Well, I've been on a roll this year stumbling across coin types or varieties that previously have not been published. My latest is a new variety of an extremely rare Vespasian Ephesian bronze. A truly remarkable coin!

Another great coin David.

The Ephesian issues of Vespasian are always fascinating from an artistic perspective.  Your example with its fine expressive portrait combined with the impressive and well balanced crossed cornucopiae and caduceus design on the reverse makes it particularly appealing. Again, the YouTube gives a strong sense what it must be like to hold in the hand.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. And I completely agree with you about the appeal of the Ephesian issues ... very artistic indeed!
