Coin of the day - Outstanding Vespasian portrait denarius
« on: March 23, 2024, 03:33:45 pm »
I recently won this coin in an auction, and though it was a bit of a Pyrrhic victory I have no regrets! The portrait is easily one of the finest I've ever seen for Vespasian, certainly among denarii - lustrous and well-struck in high relief. Interestingly, the type is also rated 'R' in RIC II. It will remain a collection favorite!

Wow! That is an outstanding coin CPK, one any collector would love to see in their tray of Flavians.
