Vespasian Denarius. Reverse Jupiter standing. 69-79 AD
Obverse: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG
Reverse: OVIS CVSTOS
Is it genuine? I know next to nothing about Roman coins, but it looks very good compared to other examples at reputable dealers. Maybe a little too good? The weight looks about right.
If I were ever to collect world coins, these Empire coins of India would definitely tick the box!
Especially when you think about how far back the British/Indian ‘relationship’ goes through the East India Company!
