I already have a coin from the Dattari collection of Egyptian tetradrachms, but when this one came up I wanted it for 2 reasons. First, I collect the 12 Caesars and this is an interesting Vespasian and secondly it is a plate coin.
Egypt, Alexandria. Dattari. Vespasian, 69-79 Diobol circa 70-71 (year 3), Æ 26.5mm., 9.15g. Laureate head r. Rev. Bust of Isis r.; in front, LGamma;. RPC 2430 (this coin cited). Dattari-Savio Pl. 14, 382 (this coin).
Brown tone. Very Fine.
From the Dattari collection.
