<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3600995, member: 74968&quot;]I know the coin is rough, but I loved the portrait. I have to thank [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] for alerting me to this one when it came up for sale. This is a very scarce coin. The coin is mentioned in the addenda of BMCRE where an example is cited for Colcester. There are 4 examples on Acsearch. There is one in Berlin mentioned on the OCRE site ( it has a hole in it). However, no British Museum example is given. It seems that the British Museum did not have an example when BMCRE was published. After searching the collection it appears that the British museum still does not have an example. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really like these left facing portraits for Vespasian. I am very pleased to add this coin to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post your own favourite coins of Vespasian.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian AR Denarius 77-78</p><p>Obv: Laureate head left: CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG</p><p>Rev: CERES stg l with corn ears poppy and sceptre; CERES AVGVST</p><p>Ric 970, BMC Page 425 add note to no. 300 left facing variant Colchester, RSC 54a (Colchester)</p><p>Purchased from Ebay July 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]963614[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
