Vespasian (AD 69-79). AE dupondius (27mm, 15.75 gm, 7h). NGC Choice XF★ 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style. Rome, AD 71. IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III, radiate head of Vespasian right, globe at point of truncation / Roma seated left on cuirass, wreath in raised right hand, resting left hand on parazonium; shield behind, S-C across fields, ROMA in exergue. RIC II.1 279.
From the Robert S. Sloan Collection. Ex Bank Leu, private sale with old dealer's tag included.
Footnote 68 in RIC II.1 states that: "Coupled with this rev is an obv reading COS II (e.g., Baranowsky list 2 1997 145) – presumably an engraver's error or a die with a weakly engraved third 'I'." Although this coin only has a faintly visible first I, there is enough room for the number to be included within the legend.
