Help Identify this Denarius!

Folks,

I received this denarius recently and am having trouble identifying it. I think it may be a Vespasian?



Post your favorite Vespasian denarius (if that is what this is ).

Thanks,

John

Lol, @Theodosius check out my Vespasian Denarius thread from earlier today. Close
The portrait seem a little different but I think they're the same coins.

 

Look up RIC 545 & See if it's a match

 

Thanks guys, looks like RIC II 77.

That counterclockwise legend threw me off.

 

Didn't notice the legend small device small picture. I was comparing the portraits.

 

I don't know why I did not post this in your Vespasian thread @Smojo, I just totally snoozed on that. Duh.

 

Your coin is RIC 702, listed as 'common'. The CNG coin Doug linked was apparently sold before the RIC II update, hence the out of date RIC reference.

 

This one has cool toning for his EYES...
