<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3521059, member: 74968&quot;]So, a little while back I posted this coin for Titus with the Iovis Custos reverse. I knew that the same type was issued for Vespasian. What is interesting is that the Vespasian Coin&nbsp;&nbsp; comes in 2 varieties left facing and right facing. However, for the Titus coin there is only a right facing example. This coin is quite rare as it is rated as R2 by RIC. After getting the Titus coin I started looking for the Vespasian counterpart. The right facing Vespasian is common but the left facing bust is not, the rarity is given as R2 in RIC (The highest rarity in the new RIC is R3). I have however seen another one of these for sale online recently but I did not like the look of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the Titus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]934924[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Titus AR Denarius.Under Vespasian 76 CE (first issue)</p><p>3.14 g</p><p>Obv:Leaureate head right, T CAESAR IMP VESPASIAN </p><p>Rev:Jupiter standing facing with patera over altar, IOVIS CUSTOS</p><p>RIC 863 [VESP] (R2)</p><p>Purchased from ebay February 21, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here is my new purchase, the Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]934925[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian AR Denarius 76 CE</p><p>Rome</p><p>Obv: Head laureate left; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG</p><p>Rev:Jupiter standing facing with patera over altar, IOVIS CUSTOS</p><p>RIC 850 (R2)</p><p>Rudnik Numismatics, May 10, 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your father and son coins that show a common reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
