Titus, Dupondius, Augustus Restitution Issue, Scarce!
Æ Dupondius; 30mm/11.7gm Rome Mint ca. 80-81 AD
Con/ Good Fine; dark brown and orange patina.
Obv/ DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER; Radiate head, left, star above.
Rev/ IMP T VESP AVG REST; Victory, draped, alighting left, holding shield inscribed SPQR; S C in fields.
Ref/ RIC 448 (Titus)
Seller's Note/ Such restitution issues struck by Titus are rather scarce and highly desired by collectors. In this case, it is replicating an As of Augustus in theory, but actually closer to Nero's flying Victory As.
