Vespasian. 69-79 AD. Denarius, 3.24g. (6h). Rome, c. 74 AD. Obv: IMP CAESAR - VESPASIANVS AVG (counterclockwise) Head laureate right. Rx: AVGVR / TRI POT above and below four sacrificial implements: ladle, whisk, pitcher, lituus. RIC 698 (R3, unique in BM), pl. 6 (same obv. die). Good VF.
Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection, acquired from CNG E192, 23 July 2008, lot 248 ($1200 plus fees).
Apparently an official muled coupling of a reverse type of 71-2 with an obverse legend of late 74. From the same obverse die as the previously unique specimen that the BM acquired in 1987, and notably better preserved than that discovery coin. The only example of this mule available to collectors.
