ITALY. Æ Dupondius (30mm, 12.70 g, 12h). Countermark applied during the reign of Vespasian, AD 69-79(?). NCAPR (Nummus Caesare Augusto PRobatus?) in rectangular countermark on a bronze dupondius of Livia (as Pietas). Pangerl 60. Host Fair, c/m VF, brown patina.
From the Richard Baker Collection.
Previously believed to be applied during the reign of Nero, a specimen in the Pangerl collection appears on an as of Vespasian, necessitating a later date for the series. Three distinct production centers can be identified for this issue, in Spain, Gaul, and Italy. The Italian type is distinguished by the frequent joining of the letters NC at the base.
