Vitellius. A.D. 69. Silver Denarius (3.26g). Rome mint. Laureate head right / Vesta seated right, holding sceptre and patera. RIC I 107; RSC 72. aEF, with tiny punch on obverse, otherwise well struck from fresh dies and a very choice example for the type. For the same type see; CNG 366, lot 768, hammered USD 3,750, with the present coin clearly superior in style and preservation. It is roughly comparable to Triton XXVII, lot 715, hammered USD 3,000 on 9 January 2024, though our example is somewhat better centred. From the David Allan Collection; acquired from CNG 270 (14 December 2011), lot 268. (P)
