A rare Vespasian denarius from Spain
« on: April 10, 2018, 03:27:12 pm »
Hello,
out of the Flavian coinage for a while. Just added this rare denarius from an uncertain Spanish mint for Vespasian very early in his reign. A flan crack but not damaging a very interesting portrait (with some Vitellian features).
This coin is RIC 1339 and David has made a very precise description of this issue in his gallery so nothing to add.

In the same auction, I missed the RIC 1369 (no live Internet : groumpfffff !).

Best
Pierre

Wonderful, wonderful! Indeed a most gluttonous Vespasian!

Stay tuned to see who won the other lot.  ;)

Yep ! Not exactly a vegan-compatible kind of person I imagine .....

Yes, it is winging its way to me as I type. I'm glad you got the Libertas!
