Vespasian AR Denarius. Ephesus, AD 71. IMP CAESAR VESPAS AVG COS III TR P P P, laureate head right / Oak wreath surrounding AVG and monogram. RIC 1427 var. (monogram). 2.77g, 18mm, 6h.

Good Fine. Some lustre remaining.

This coin was struck during the crossover phase when the use of the monogrammatic mintmark ceased and was replaced by EPE on the gold and silver issues of Ephesus. The obv. can be die-linked to RIC's Group 6 (cf. RIC 1429, Pl. 77), however an older rev. die that features the monogram was utilised.
