<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2818565, member: 44132&quot;]I believe I now own a dozen Vespasian coins, yet I had to have another.&nbsp; Actually, what drew me to this coin was the variation of the portrait style.&nbsp; It reminds me of Otho with a slightly hooked nose.&nbsp; So, because it&#039;s somewhat different from my other Vespasian coins, I was able to justify buying another.&nbsp; Is there a better reason?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]661235[/ATTACH] </p><p>VESPASIAN</p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; COS ITER TR POT, Pax seated left, holding branch and caduceus</p><p>Struck at Rome, 69-71 AD</p><p>3.31g, 18mm</p><p>RIC 29; RSC 94h; Sear 2285</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s note:&nbsp; </p><p>There is a very large number of different versions of the emperor&#039;s head of this coin type.
