<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 4989770, member: 89514&quot;]David, </p><p><br /></p><p>A decent specimen of this rare coin!</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like no. 235 (A169/P220) in Kraay&#039;s unpublished die catalogue, known to him from specimens in Paris (Giard 488, pl. XLIV) and Vienna. Kraay knew no combinations of this same obv. die with other rev. dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>A slight correction of the last sentence in your description:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Very rare, only two reverse dies for the type in combination with this obverse legend were recorded by C. Kraay.&quot; The die figures cited by Carradice and Buttrey are for rev. not obv. dies; and Kraay knew of a couple of other HONOS ET VIRTVS</p><p>sest. rev. dies of Vespasian in 71 coupled with VESPASIANVS rather than VESPAS obv. dies, RIC 78-79 and note 28.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
