Denarius of Vespasian.
Obverse: Laur head right. IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG (Ephesus mintmark below
bust)
Reverse: Eagle on Cippus, head right. COS V

Unlisted in RIC. Reverse listed for Titus, RIC 379.


While it could be a hybrid type, I don't see anything to preclude its 
being an unlisted proper type of Vespasian from 74 AD. The die may have
even been re-used in 76 AD for Titus.
