It all hinges on the portrait. There is a lot of variation in the Rome portraits of Vespasian on this issue. Is it different enough to be not from the Rome mint? Maybe. If it is from Tarraco this makes it it a very rare coin. If it is from Rome it is another RIC 29, a very common coin. What makes this interesting is that it appears to be a die match to the RIC plate coin tentatively identified as RIC 1312.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasianus, 69-79.Denarius Minted 69/70, Tarraco (Tarragona).</p><p><br /></p><p>3.41 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Bust Laureate right, IMP CAESAR VESPASIANUS AVG</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev; Pax Seated with branch and Caduceus., COS ITER TR POT </p><p><br /></p><p>RIC II/1, 1312 (R3) </p><p><br /></p><p>Dr. Busso Peus Nachf.
