<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3332862, member: 74968&quot;]I have known that this coin existed for the past 3 years, but until last night I did not have the chance to purchase one. This coin of Vitellius features Vitellius on the obverse and his father L. Vitellius on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>One focus of my 12 Ceasars collection was to find the most interesting reverses I could for the coins I chose. I already have 2 coins of Vitellius. One is a fairly common type but the other is the dynastic issue. I am very happy to add this rarity to my collection. Part of what I love about this coin is the use of portraits on both the obverse and reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post coins that you have wanted for years and have recently added to your collection, or coins with 2 portraits.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]883102[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Vitellius AR Denarius</p><p>69 CE</p><p>17 mm 3.32 g</p><p>Obv: A VITELLIVS GERM IMP AVG TR P: Head of Vitellius, laureate, right</p><p>Rev: L VITELLIVS COS III CENSOR: Bust of Lucius Vitellius, laureate and draped, right; eagle-tipped sceptre in front</p><p>Very rare</p><p>RIC 99</p><p>Ex: Silbury Coins January 27, 2019.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
