VESPASIAN, A.D. 69-79. AR Denarius (2.66 gms), Ephesus Mint, A.D. 71. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 2/5.
RIC-1433; RSC-835; RPC-835. Obverse: Laureate head right; Reverse: Turreted and draped female bust right; E(PH)E below. An incredibly distinctive and supremely popular Denarius, this example offers all the charm and appeal one could want from the type. Rich luster is retained, along with clear details from a sharp strike. A touch of porosity is noted, though this is quite less than what would be expected given the subgrade NGC has assigned.
Estimate: $400 - $600
