Countermarked Bronze Coin, Time of Civil War to Vespasian, c. 68 - 79 A.D.
|Roman| |Countermarked|, |Countermarked| |Bronze| |Coin,| |Time| |of| |Civil| |War| |to| |Vespasian,| |c.| |68| |-| |79| |A.D.|, Countermarked with:

1. Head right (Divus Augustus?)

2. Bunch of grapes

3. Capricorn



According to Martini, the Capricorn countermark appears on coins from Augustus to Nero, from Moesia or Thrace. The letters or device below the capricorn are not clear on our our coin nor were they to Martini from other examples. The capricorn was a symbol of Vespasian and issue under his reign is a good possibility. The coin is listed by Martini right after #93, a Galba countermark.
SH24953. Bronze AE 28, countermark: Pangerl 94 for the capricorn, the other two countermarks not listed, weight 14.701g, maximum diameter 28.5mm, interesting and unusual countrmarks; SOLD
