Lot 2540
Vespasian, AD 69-79. AR Denarius minted at Ephesus, AD 71. Laureate head right of Vespasian. Reverse: Turreted and draped female bust right; below, EPE (mintmark). RIC 1433; RPC 835. Portrait of Vespasian in high relief; reverse is from a well-delineated, fresh die. Extremely Fine.
Notice the light circle scribed on the die to better align the bottom of the letter punches. Since this line was so shallow, it tended to disappear with die use, as well as with coin wear.
Estimated Value $750 - 850.
