Hi There,

I just would like to say I had a look at this coin, and although it is quite worn, it is in my opinion that this coin belongs to the Ruler "VESPASIAN". You are correct in saying the bust faces right! If you email me directly I will tell you why I say this is Vespasian!

Kind Regards, Jonathan
