have been looking for one of these for a while. It is worn and part of the obverse legend is missing but I still really like the look of it. Thanks go to a friend for confirming what I was looking at. I first saw an example of this coin in his FAC gallery and have wanted one since.
There are 8 examples on acsearch and 2 on OCRE.
I happened upon this one today while perusing unsold lots from the Dr. Busso Peus Nach. auction.
Vespasian, 69-79. Denarius 74, Rome. Head / Emperor with branch and scepter on a Curule chair. RIC II / 1, 683 C. 363 3.17 g. Rarely beautiful - very nice
