AVG F in the obverse legend indicates this denarius was coined before Vespasian&#039;s defication, after which DIVI F was used. This Salus type was unique to Domitan Caesar and was discontinued in the following DIVI F issue when a whole new slate of reverse designs were employed. Not as commonly found as the COS VI version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
