Vespasian. AD 69-79. Fourrée Denarius (19mm, 2.72 g, 6h). Copying Lugdunum (Lyon) mint. Laureate head right / SPQR/ OB/ CS within oak wreath. Cf. RIC II (1st edition) 144 (obv. legend, plated) and (2nd edition) 1131 (aureus); cf. RSC 525b (obv. legend, plated); cf. BMC 341 (obv. legend, plated). VF.


There are no breaks in the plating revealing a core, but the low weight suggests this is a fourée.
