Description: | This purports to be an Imperial Roman struck silver Denarius of Vespasian (AD69-79), from around 71 AD. The obverse has the laureate head right with the reverse showng Pax seated left with cauduceus & branch. So far so good, however, the execution is poor with the portrait and the seated Pax being very poorly described. A close examination of the rim reveals that there is a 'core' with a silver-sheet coat. It is therefore considered to be a contemporary fake.
